A Butler woman involved in a rear-end accident received $850,000 in her suit, Antonelli v. Nichols.

Plaintiff Christine Antonelli, 43, received her settlement funds from GEICO, the carrier for defendant Brandon Nichols, on April 1, said Antonelli's attorney, Edward Capozzi. The case settled on Feb. 8 after six days of trial before Passaic County Superior Court Judge Bruno Mongiardo.

Antonelli was injured on Sept. 23, 2013, as she was traveling north on Greenwood Lake Turnpike in West Milford. Her car was struck from behind by a car driven by Nichols, of West Milford, said Capozzi, of Brach Eichler in Roseland.
