A man rendered paraplegic after being crushed under a slab of granite has reached a $7 million settlement with the manufacturer of a stone cutting table and two distributors of the table.
Troy Eap, 34, of Upper Darby, Delaware County, had his spine crushed March 24, 2009, when a 1,200-pound slab of granite fell on him out of the “Intertool Slab Rocker Table” made by defendant Leitch & Co. Inc. The table is designed to be rocked into a vertical position so a stone could be placed into the table; the table is then placed back down into a horizontal position so the stone can be worked on, according to court papers.
