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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Tri-State defended Mr. Bradley without a reservation of rights. In addition, Tri-State stated at trial that it was “unclear” whether Tri-State would be liable for Mr. Bradley.... Thus, Tri-State acknowledged that Mr. Bradley might be covered under its policy. Given that the insurers in [inter alia ] Pendleton ... were estopped from denying coverage after providing a defense without a reservation of rights when the claimant was not even arguably covered, Tri-State is also estopped when Mr. Bradley is arguably covered, and, like the circumstances in Pendleton ... the basis of estoppel is Tri-State’s defense of Mr. Bradley without a reservation of rights.”
