New Jersey Firefighter workers' comp attorney
You have dedicated your career to the service of others. But what happens when you are injured in the line of duty? The Law Offices of Christopher J. Metcalfe has handled claims for injuries as result of:
- Inhalation of toxic fumes

- Gunshot wounds
- Significant damage to lungs

By contacting attorney Christopher J. Metcalfe before you apply for police workers' compensation or firefighter's workers' compensation, you can set forth the basis of your claim in a way that is more likely to get approval. Mr. Metcalfe will work to ensure you get all the benefits you deserve, which may include but not be limited to:
- Health care at the employers' expense
- Temporary disability benefits at a percentage of your current wage
- A cash award to compensate you for permanent disabilities
Together, we will see what medical care could and should be provided for you. We will see if your treating physician deems you unable to work, and if we can get you temporary or permanent disability benefits. As your lawyer, Christopher J. Metcalfe will negotiate any settlement offering or go to court on your behalf, zealously defending your best interests.
Do Not Let Lack of Knowledge Cost You
You are trained as a police officer or firefighter, not as a medical specialist. You will not know how to describe your injuries to best outline your claim. Let an attorney who has worked these claims hundreds of times help you. After all, delay or denial can cost you in terms of medical bills, paying your everyday bills and time to heal.
