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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the apparent severity of the plaintiff’s injuries; (2) whether it is immediately apparent that any negligence would likely lie solely with the company’s insured; (3) whether the plaintiff notified the defendant that the plaintiff would pursue a claim (or that the plaintiff lacked the resources to pay for his medical expenses); (4) whether defendant was notified that plaintiff had retained counsel; (5) whether the person who took the statement is charged with safety responsibilities, or whether the investigation was made pursuant to policy, statute, regulation, or other non-litigation purpose; (6) whether a statute clearly implicates the insured with liability; (7) whether the insurer investigated the plaintiff’s claim in the manner he investigated all other claims with normal procedures; and (8) whether the documents were produced before an insurer formally denied a claim.”
