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.
“"Besides, as to the first-mentioned testimony, medical opinion as applied to what a normal person would or would not do, does not necessarily indicate the absence of a genuine limp in a neurotic person suffering from a genuine hysteria who adjusted his foot and walk in such manner to receive (imaginary) ease from genuinely-felt pain."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The issue in this case under the law is not whether the injury was the sole and proximate cause of the plaintiff’s present incapacity to work but whether the accidental injury aggravated and brought into active play his previous neurotic, mental or nervous troubles and was, therefore, the proximate cause of his present disability.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“There is no doubt in our minds that nervousness, neurosis, or emotional disturbances, superinduced by injuries suffered by a workman, can be just as devastating to the ability to return to work as are physical or anatomical injuries, and are equally as compensable under the statute”
