Supreme Court of Florida, Special Division B.

Coe & Coe, Pensacola, for appellant.

MATHEWS, Justice.

This is an appeal from a final judgment resulting from the construction of certain terms of an insurance policy.

An isolated sentence of the policy should not be construed alone, but it should be construed in connection with other provisions of the policy in order to arrive at a reasonable construction to accomplish the intent and purpose of the parties.
