OPINION
MATHIAS, Judge.
Toni E. Wilson (“Wilson”) appeals the Marion Superior Court’s ruling granting Continental Casualty Company’s (“Continental”) motion to dismiss Wilson’s complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, pursuant to Indiana Trial Rule 12(b)(6). On appeal, Wilson argues that her claim falls within a limited exception to the direct action rule that prohibits tort victims from directly suing insurance carriers for the torts of their insureds, and therefore, the trial court erred when it dismissed her claim.
We reverse.
