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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court instructs the jury that if you conclude that the defendant failed' to give the signals required by the statute and here-inbefore explained to you as a matter of law, the plaintiff would be entitled to recover such damages as you may conclude she has sustained, unless you further find from the evidence in the case that the plaintiff was guilty of negligence which contributed to the injury””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The jury are instructed that, before the plaintiff can recover, she must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that her injuries were caused in the manner alleged in the petition, and that the defendants were guilty of one or more of the acts of negligence alleged in the petition, and that said act or acts were the direct and proximate cáuse of said injuries.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Under the above case and a long line of other decisions, this court has committed itself to the view that the trial court should not instruct the jury that, if a certain state of facts is found to exist, such facts constituted contributory negligence and the plaintiff cannot recover.”
