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.

1. ““An action for bodily injury or injuring personal property shall be brought within two years after the cause thereof arose.... “For purposes of this section, a cause of action for bodily injury which may be caused by exposure to diethylstilbestrol ... arises upon the date on which the plaintiff learns from a licensed physician that he has an injury which may be related to such exposure, or upon the date on which by the exercise of reasonable diligence he should have become aware that he has an injury which may be related to such exposure, whichever occurs first.””
