LISENBEY v. FARM BUREAU MUTUAL INS. CO. OF ARKANSAS

No. 5-4617.

431 S.W.2d 484 (1968)

Robert L. LISENBEY et ux., Appellants, v. FARM BUREAU MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF ARKANSAS, INC., Appellee.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

September 16, 1968.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Reinberger, Eilbott, Smith & Staten, Pine Bluff, for appellants.

Coskrill, Laser, McGehee, Sharp & Boswell, Little Rock, for appellee.


GEORGE ROSE SMITH, Justice.

The question here is whether homeowners whose house is destroyed by fire can maintain successive suits upon their fire insurance policy, first to recover for the loss of the house and then to recover for the loss of its contents. This appeal is from the trial court's holding that the successful maintenance of the first suit was bar to the second suit. We hold that the court's conclusion was correct.
