In addition to subsections 1 and 2 of this section, the association shall have all common law rights of subrogation and any other equitable or legal remedy which would have been available to the impaired or insolvent insurer or owner, beneficiary, enrollee, or payee of a policy or contract with respect to such policy or contracts, including, without limitation in the case of a structured settlement annuity, any rights of the owner, beneficiary, or payee of the annuity, to the extent of benefits received under sections 376.715 to 376.758, against a person, originally or by succession, responsible for the losses arising from the personal injury relating to the annuity or payment thereof, excepting any such person responsible solely by reason of serving as an assignee in respect of a qualified assignment under Section 130 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
