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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A suit for personal injury can be brought more than one year after the injury occurs, provided it is brought in one year after it is discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care and diligence should have been discovered. Mrs. Beaman knew she had an eye injury on the morning of August 16, 1983. Plaintiff argues the injury for which she is suing is the corneal infection, not the corneal abrasion. In Tennessee, however, an injured party is not allowed to wait to bring an action until he knows all of the injurious effects or consequences of an actionable wrong. We agree with the trial court that the statute of limitations bars the Plaintiff’s suit against CooperVision.”
