Description
This is a tripartite lawsuit arising out of the destruction by fire of an oil derrick and other top ground equipment belonging to the Cities Service Oil Company, and located upon and used in the production of oil from one of its wells. The fire occurred when a workman on the well ignited escaping gas by throwing a burning match to the ground after lighting a cigarette. The equipment involved was insured against loss by fire under policies written by the Home Insurance Company and the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. These companies paid the loss under their respective policies in the total amount of $6,504.90 and brought this suit as subrogees to recover it. The amount of the loss and the right of the insurers to maintain the action is not questioned. Jurisdiction is based upon diversity of citizenship and requisite amount in controversy, both of which are shown on the record.
