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.
