The Roberts family owned a house in Alabama. It was insured with a fire insurance policy issued by
the Sparkler Mutual Insurance Company. On April 1, the Roberts moved to Tennessee. Their son,
Bob, remained in the Alabama home for an additional month. Thereafter, the home was rented to a
tenant who lived in the home for the month of May. Mr. Roberts returned to the home irregularly,

Case for Discussion
Ed “Bonzo” Jones was a college student. He played outfielder on his fraternity’s softball team. A
home run was hit, and the ball went into an area of electrical transformers operated by the local
utility, Total Power and Light Company. The electrical transformers were surrounded by a 5-foot
wire fence that Jones claimed to retrieve the ball. Warnings signs were posted by the utility indicating
the area was dangerous. It was later determined the gate to the area was left unlocked, although Jones
did not use it to gain access. In retrieving the ball, Jones made contact with some equipment and was
severely burned by the electrically. He was hospitalized for three months and suffered permanent
disfigurement. His medical bills amounted to $300,000.
