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 150 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

6 later decisions quote this exact passage“(1) a duty of care owed by the defendant to the plaintiff; (2) conduct falling below the applicable standard of care amounting to a breach of that duty; (3) an injury or loss; (4) causation in fact; and (5) proximate, or legal cause.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“[imposition of a legal duty ... reflects society’s contemporary policies and social requirements concerning the right of individuals and the general public to be protected from the acts or conduct of another.”
