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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Additional Harm Resulting From Efforts to Mitigate Harm Caused by Negligence[:] If the negligent actor is liable for another’s bodily injury, he is also subject to liability for any additional bodily harm resulting from normal efforts of third persons in rendering aid which the other’s injury reasonably requires, irrespective of whether such acts are done in a proper or a negligent manner.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“where malpractice results in an injury for which a physician is liable, the risk created includes that of additional medical treatment and, perhaps, additional harm.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A physician, who is under a duty to comply with the recognized standard of practice for his specialty prevailing at the time of treatment, cannot avoid liability which he would otherwise have for aggravation of injuries to his patient, if any, on the ground that it was caused by a subsequent negligent treatment of a later treating physician if the subsequent treatment was necessitated by the first physician's failure to comply with the applicable standard of care prevailing at the time of treatment by him.”
