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.
“"In other words, in cases ex delicto and ex contractu, `prejudgment interest' is awarded to make an injured party whole by compensating that party for the time-value of money to which that party was entitled from the date set by the legislature, but over which the defendant, in retrospect, had wrongfully continued to exercise dominion and control while the suit was pending." McLaughlin v. Hill City Oil Company/Jubilee Exxon, 97-577, p. 18 (La.App. 3 Cir. 10/8/97), 702 So.2d 786, 797 , writ denied, 97-2797 (La.2/13/98), 706 So.2d 994 . In personal injury or contract cases, damages are ascertainable from the date that a person is injured or a contract breached.”
