Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Compensatory damages are designed to make the plaintiff whole by reimbursing him or her for the loss or harm suffered. Torsch v. McLeod , 665 So.2d 934 , 940 (Ala. 1995). In contrast, punitive damages serve `"not to compensate the plaintiff but to punish the wrongdoer and to deter the wrongdoer and others from committing similar wrongs in the future."' Ex parte Weyerhaeuser [Co.] , 702 So.2d [1227 ] at 1229 [(Ala. 1996)], quoting Green Oil Co. v. Hornsby , 539 So.2d 218 , 222 (Ala. 1989)."”
