Description
In Colby v. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, 908 P.2d 1170 (Colo. App. 1995), the court of appeals held that respondent, Progressive Casualty Insurance Company (Progressive), satisfied its obligations to pay rehabilitation benefits to petitioner, R.W. Colby (Colby), pursuant to section 10-4-706(1)(c), 4A C.R.S. (1987), of the Colorado Auto Accident Reparations Act (the Act) by paying Colby $50,000. In so doing, the court of appeals reversed the contrary summary judgment entered by the trial court. In Thompson v. Budget Rent-A-Car Systems, Inc., No. 94CV193 (Larimer County Dist. Ct., Oct. 14, 1994; Dec. 23, 1994; and Jan. 19, 1995), the trial court entered three partial summary judgments in favor of petitioner Carol Thompson and against respondent Budget Rent-A-Car Systems, Inc. (Budget), holding that Budget's obligation to pay rehabilitation benefits to Thompson was not limited to $50,000 pursuant to section 10-4-706(1)(c). We granted Colby's petition for certiorari review of the propriety of the court of appeals' decision in Colby and also granted Thompson's petition, filed pursuant to C.A.R. 50, for pre-judgment certiorari review of the propriety of the trial court's three judgments in Thompson to review the conflicting constructions of the provisions of section 10-4-706(1)(c) reflected therein. For the reasons stated below, we affirm the judgment of the court of appeals in Colby, reverse the judgments of the trial court in Thompson, and remand each case to the appropriate trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
