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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the jury accepted the appellant’s testimony as to the severity and duration of the pain which [she] endured, the $1,000.00 awarded for pain and suffering would appear to be inadequate. However, the jury was not bound to accept as the absolute truth the testimony of either the appellant or of [her] doctor relating to appellant’s claimed pain and suffering_ (Citations omitted.) (Emphasis supplied.)”

The decision of the trial judge is presumptively correct. Thus, we will not reverse the decision of a trial court unless that decision is clearly erroneous. (Citations omitted.)”
