Southern Eagle Insurance Company
Effective December 16, 2011, Southern Eagle Insurance Company (“SEIC”) was order into receivership for the purposes of liquidation by the Second Judicial Circuit Court in Leon County, Florida. The Florida Department of Financial Services is the court appointed Receiver of SEIC.
With the entry of the liquidation order, the Florida Workers’ Compensation Insurance Guaranty Association (“FWCIGA”) has been activated to help pay outstanding claims for workers’ compensation policies. FWCIGA limits the amount it pays on claims to the amount of coverage provided by the policy. However, Florida does not limit benefits paid to injured workers and pays 100 percent of the statutorily defined workers’ compensation benefits. Employer liability claims are limited to the lesser of $300,000 or policy limits. For unearned premium claims, FWCIGA’s obligation is limited to $50,000 and covers only policies in force on the date of liquidation.
Claimants who need to check on the status of an existing claim should call FWCIGA's third party administrator, North American Risk Services (NARS), at (800) 315-6090 ext. 1269.
