SOUTH CAROLINA AUTO INSURANCE GUIDE

South Carolina Optional-Coverage Offer Forms, Disclosure & Insurer Duties

South Carolina requires insurers to make statutory offers of optional automobile coverages, including underinsured-motorist coverage. Whether an offer was legally sufficient can determine whether additional coverage is reformed into a policy.

  • Obtain every signed offer/rejection form and declarations page.
  • Confirm that the form and offer process complied with the applicable South Carolina statutes and regulations.
  • Compare the offered limits with the liability limits actually purchased.
  • Preserve policy-application records and electronic-signature evidence when the validity of an election is disputed.
