The South Carolina Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association (the Guaranty) is an unincorporated nonprofit entity created pursuant to the South Carolina Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association Act (the Act). The purpose of the Guaranty is to provide a degree of protection to insureds whose carriers become insolvent. Upon an insurer’s insolvency, the Guaranty assumes the position of the insurer to the extent of the insurer’s obligation relative to covered claim; its liability is derived from that of the insolvent carrier’s liability to the insured.
