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 198 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“commencement of each (two year) policy period mandated by R.C. 3937.18 (A) brings into existence a new contract of automobile insurance, whether the policy is characterized as a new policy of insurance or a renewal of an existing policy.”
14 later decisions quote this exact passage“[e]very automobile insurance policy shall be issued for a policy period of not less than two years or guaranteed renewal for successive policy periods totaling not less than two years. . . .”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is clear that the public policy of this state, as gleaned through the Acts of the General Assembly, is to ensure that all motorists maintain some form of liability coverage on motor vehicles operated within Ohio. R.C. 3937.31 (A) is designed to further that policy. In DeBose v. Travelers Ins. Cos. (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 65 , 67 , 6 OBR 108, 110, 451 N.E.2d 753 , 755-756 , this court stated that `[i]t is beyond reasonable dispute that R.C. 3937.30 et seq. are primarily designed to protect the public from the dangers which uninsured motorists pose. R.C. 3937.31 (A) attempts to ameliorate this threat by mandating that insureds whose policies have been in effect for less than two years receive notice of any planned cancellation of their policies in time for them to secure new coverage.'”
