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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“By excluding the conduct of others or particularly the victim, there can be no defense that the victim was drunk and inattentive in hitting the Huff trailer. Similarly, Johnston’s actions would not, as proposed, have “amounted to an intervening cause which was a new and independent force which interrupted the chain of events initiated by Thomas Huff’s negligence and become the responsible direct proximate cause of her death and her sister’s injuries.””
