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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If on account of a disability or death for which compensation is payable under this Act the person entitled to such compensation determines that some person other than the employer is liable in damages, he may elect, by giving notice to the deputy commissioner in such manner as the commission may provide, to receive such compensation or to recover damages against such third person.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““A showing of damage — or of the absence of it — is beside the point in such a case. Petitioner, having compromised and settled her claim against the third party without the approval of the employer or carrier, is not now in a position to demand anything more — if for no other reason — because the statute clearly says so.””
