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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[w]e read Wichers as an instruction to a trial court specifically to identify the facts of record that justify the extraordinary relief of additur and as an instruction to an appellate court to inquire whether the facts so identified justify the trial court's exercise of its discretion to set a jury verdict aside because of its perceived inadequacy.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Under Wichers , it is not enough to base an additur on a conclusory statement that a jury award was [inadequate] .... The question, therefore, is whether the court elsewhere articulated a sufficient factual basis for its decision to order an additur.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“that the court abused its discretion by ordering an additur without identifying the part of the record that supported its determination that an award of [zero] noneconomic damages was unreasonable under the circumstances of this case.”
