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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) within one (1) year after a claim is filed in the court, or any longer period determined by the court to be necessary upon a showing of good cause, the party who filed the claim fails to make a written offer of settlement to the party or parties against whom a claim is filed; (2) the terms of the offer fail to provide for payment of the settlement offer within sixty (60) days after the offer is accepted; or (3) the amount of the offer exceeds one and one-third (1 1/3) of the amount of the judgment awarded.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“(a) If the court awards prejudgment interest, the court shall determine the period during which prejudgment interest accrues. However the period may not exceed forty-eight (48) months. Prejudgment interest begins to accrue on the latest of the following dates: (1)Fifteen (15) months after the cause of action accrued. (2) Six (6) months after the claim is filed in court of [I.C. § ] 34-18-8 and [I.C. § ] 34-18-9 do not apply. (3) One hundred eighty (180) days after a medical review panel is formed to review the claim under [I.C. § ] 34-18-10 (or [I.C. § ] 27-12-10) before its repeal.”
