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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“These allegations do not demonstrate Shell was 'substantially certain' Mr. Frank would be diagnosed with ALL Leukemia due to his exposure to benzene and benzene-related substances, but rather indicate that Shell 'knowingly permitt[ed] a hazardous work condition to exist, knowingly order[ed] claimant to perform an extremely dangerous job, or willfully fail[ed] to furnish a safe place to work,' all of which the Louisiana Supreme Court holds is insufficient for an intentional tort.”
