South Carolina Property & Casualty Insurance Guaranty Ass'n v. Carolinas Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Self-Insurance Fund

Supreme Court of South Carolina

Decided June 20, 1994No. 24106PublishedCited by 16 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Finney, Justice:

Appellant (Roofers Fund) is a group self-insurer under the Workers’ Compensation Act which purchased catastrophic insurance from Mission Insurance Company. Mission became insolvent, and Roofers Fund submitted a claim to respondent (Guaranty Association). The Guaranty Association rejected the Roofers Fund claim, and then brought this declaratory judgment action to determine whether it was obligated to cover it. The circuit court held the claim was not covered, and that contrary to the Roofers Fund’s position, the Guaranty Association was not estopped to deny coverage. We affirm.
