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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““[TJhere is no indication that the medical records were offered to prove any statement of expert opinion on the cause of [the passenger’s] headaches. The records do establish that [he] had voiced repeated complaints about headaches for many years and that he had previously received treatment for various head injuries. [The driver] had no burden to prove the cause of [the passenger’s] headaches and therefore it is of no avail to [the passenger] if the records were not competent proof of causation. The records were appropriate evidence for the jury to consider in deciding whether to believe [the passenger’s] testimony about the onset of his headaches and to evaluate the testimony of [his] medical expert who was not given the history of previous accidents and complaints reflected in the records. Id. at 640-41 [6].”
