A Seymour woman who suffered serious back injuries after the vehicle she was driving was rear-ended in Fairfield on the Merritt Parkway in 2014 has agreed to accept a $200,000 settlement from the defendant’s insurance carrier.

Attorney Mark M. Kochanowicz said he was originally looking for between $300,000 and $350,000, but said his client, 40-year-old Cindy Argueta, felt the $200,000 settlement reached in mediation on the eve of trial “was acceptable.”
