We granted certiorari to review Caldwell v. Baumgart, 41 Colo. App. 130, 584 P.2d 95 (1978). The court of appeals held that, under the provisions of the Colorado Auto Accident Reparations Act, section 10-4-701, et seq., C.R.S. 1973 (the No Fault Insurance Act), an insurer licensed to write motor vehicle insurance in the state of Colorado may maintain a direct action for damages against an automobile driver to recover basic personal injury protection (PIP) benefits paid by the insurer. We reverse, and remand with directions.
