A Bridgeport woman who suffered potentially lifelong knee injuries in a car accident has settled her case for $300,000.

The 2004 Acura sedan driven Joy Soares on the Merritt Parkway in August 2014 was rear-ended by a Subaru Impreza driven by Samuel Tolkin, according to a June 2016 lawsuit filed in Bridgeport Superior Court. The suit claims neither party called the police because there were no visible injuries and the vehicles were drivable.

Soares went to the hospital for right knee pain four days later. Medical experts said the pain was due to the accident, according to the lawsuit.
