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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An agreement to insure is an agreement to provide both parties with the benefits of insurance. Individuals understand that insurance will protect them against the consequences of their own negligence and more than likely assume that if one ... agrees as part of his or its [contractual] duties to provide insurance, that the insurance will protect both of them regardless of the cause of the loss.... If that were not their intent, each would provide his or its own protection....”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“An agreement to provide insurance merely allocates an economic burden on one party to make a payment to protect another after the parties have ultimately decided `to shift the risk of loss * * * upon an insurer.' * * * An agreement to purchase insurance does not make the party agreeing to provide the insurance an indemnitor. Rather, an agreement to insure is an agreement to provide both parties with the benefits of insurance.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“an agreement to provide insurance for another's benefit, while analogous in some respects to an agreement to indemnify another for the consequences of its own negligence, is not subject to the strict construction rule.”
