Attorneys for a 61-year-old Hartford man, whose hip was shattered after an 800-pound commercial refrigerator fell on him while he was attempting to enter a convenient store, have secured a $424,900 settlement.

Balbuena was entering the store to make a purchase when—at the same time—three to five movers lost control of the refrigerator, which was 20 feet long, according to Matthew Paradisi, an associate with Hartford’s Cicchiello & Cicchiello.
