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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I. The trial court erred in sustaining plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and in overruling defendant’s motion for summary judgment because, as a matter of law ... the underlying tortfeasor, does not meet the definition of an underinsured motorist as set forth in defendant Safeco Insurance Company of America’s policy. II. The court erred in finding ... that ... underinsured motorist coverage on the four (4) motor vehicles insured under this policy could be “stacked” in order to meet the statutory definition of an underinsured motorist and, further, in finding that defendant Safeco Insurance Company of America provided “stacked” underinsured motorist coverage limits of $200,000.”
