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.

Eladio Balbuena was injured as he attempted to enter Town Market on Park Street in Hartford in May 2013, according to an amended lawsuit filed in January in Hartford Superior Court. 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.
