I understand the dangers you face. I am attorney David DeToffol and I was a New York State professional engineer. I have worked at construction sites and I know the mechanics of the equipment. Call me at 212-962-2220 to discuss your injury with a lawyer who understands your profession. Your consultation is free and there is no fee if we do not recover damages for you.

NIOSH reports that construction employs only about eight percent of U.S. workers, but accounts for 22 percent of the fatalities — the largest number of deaths reported for any industry sector.
