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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“all the medical consequences and sequelae that flow from the primary injury are compensable.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“a subsequent injury, whether in the form of an aggravation of the original injury or a new and distinct injury, is compensable if it is the 'direct and natural result' of a compensable injury.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[w]hen the primary injury is shown to have arisen out of and in the course of employment, every natural consequence that flows from the injury likewise arises out of the employment, unless it is the result of an independent intervening cause attributable to claimant's own intentional conduct.”
