Adam Dombchik Named Applicant Attorney of the Year
Adam Dombchik, a partner in the law firm of Gordon, Edelstein, Krepack, Grant, Felton & Goldstein, LLP, has been named Applicant Attorney of the Year by the Workers' Compensation Section of the State Bar of California.
Each year the State Bar of California honors members of the legal community who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the profession.
Dombchik is the former President of the California Applicants' Attorneys Association (CAAA) and is presently the group's Legislative Committee Chairperson. CAAA is a 1,000-member statewide organization that advocates for injured workers’ rights.
What is an “applicant attorney”?
In a California workers’ compensation case, the injured worker who files with the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) is called the applicant. Applicant attorneys represent injured workers only, never employers or insurance companies. Their fees are approved by a workers’ compensation judge and paid as a percentage of the benefits recovered, so injured workers pay nothing up front to have an experienced advocate. The California Applicants’ Attorneys Association (CAAA), which Adam Dombchik once led as president, is the statewide organization of these lawyers. It lobbies in Sacramento on behalf of injured workers.
