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 63 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If a motor vehicle driver himself created the sudden emergency or brought about the perilous situation through his own negligence, he cannot avoid liability for an injury merely on the ground that his acts were done in the stress of a sudden emergency. He cannot shield himself behind an emergency created by his own negligence. (Emphasis supplied.)”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage““An expert may be allowed, in cases where expert opinion is appropriate, to interpret facts in evidence which the jury are not qualified to interpret for themselves, (citing cases). He may base such an opinion either on his personal observations given into evidence, (citing cases), or upon assumption that some portion of the testimony of others already in evidence is true, (citing cases). He must, however, base his opinion only upon competent evidence.” Gilbert v. Quinet, 91 Ariz. at 32 , 369 P.2d at 268-269 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““There were two cars parked, one on either side of the street, near the accident scene, but both were south of the location of the accident and in no way interfered with the bus driver’s visibility. * * * As the defendants’ bus approached at from twelve to fifteen miles per hour the plaintiff started to run across the street toward his home, traveling diagonally in a southwest direction. The child crossed the east parking lane, the northbound traffic lane and most of the southbound traffic lane before he was struck by the right front fender of the bus. The defendant driver testified that he first saw the child when he was a little to the left of the bus and about in the middle of the street.” (Emphasis supplied.) 91 Ariz. at 31 , 369 P.2d at 268 .”
