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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Question ___ inquires as to what sum of money will fairly and reasonably compensate the plaintiff for the damages sustained by him from the date of accident to the date of trial, which were the result of such accident, with respect to medical and hospital expenses. In your answer to question ___, you will fix upon such a sum of money as you find has been reasonably and necessarily incurred by the plaintiff for the hospital and medical care required for the treatment of his personal injuries. This amount may not be limited to doctor bills and hospital bills. The plaintiff is entitled to recover, as a part of these expenses, such an amount as will reasonably compensate him for costs of transportation, including ambulance service, from his home to the places of treatment and return and also for such amounts as were reasonably paid or incurred by him for nursing services and for drugs and medications.”
