Arrowood Indemnity Company was an insurance provider that has since been found insolvent and ordered into liquidation. The company was involved in providing various insurance services, but due to financial difficulties, it ceased operations. The California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA) now assists with certain claims from its policyholders, ensuring that they receive some level of compensation despite the company's liquidation. Notable achievements of the company are not documented due to its insolvency status.
The exit of Arrowood Indemnity Company from the market due to its liquidation will significantly impact its customers in California. The company was ordered into liquidation on November 8, 2023, meaning it can no longer fulfill its obligations to policyholders. The California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA) will handle open claims and assist affected customers. CIGA covers specific types of claims, including property, casualty, and workers' compensation, but does not cover obligations from mortgage guaranty, financial guaranty, fidelity/surety insurance, credit insurance, title insurance, and ocean marine insurance.
For customers with existing claims, if a claim was open at the time of liquidation, it will be forwarded to CIGA by the court-appointed liquidator. If a claim was closed or a new claim needs to be filed, customers must contact the liquidator for claim information. Additionally, customers may be eligible for a refund of unearned premiums if their policy was canceled due to the liquidation. CIGA will attempt to contact each person with an open claim, but there may be delays in processing as they obtain necessary files from the liquidator. The deadline for filing a Proof of Claim (POC) is May 15, 2025, for most claims, while workers' compensation claims do not have a filing deadline as long as they comply with the California Workers' Compensation Act.
