Attorney Adam Dombchik Named One of the Most Influential People
Attorney Adam Dombchik, a partner in the law firm of Gordon, Edelstein, Krepack, Grant, Felton & Goldstein, LLP, has been named one of the Most Influential People in the Workers’ Compensation Industry by the editors of Workers’ Comp Executive.
Dombchik was selected for his unsurpassed skill and acumen in addressing the legal needs of injured workers in California. He is a Past President of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, a 1,000-member statewide organization that advocates for injured workers' rights, and presently serves as the organization’s Legislative Committee Chairperson.
Workers’ Comp Executive is the journal of record for California Workers’ Compensation. In Dombchik’s profile, he answers a variety of questions regarding what he sees as the top three Workers’ Compensation issues, Medicare Set-Asides, cost-cutting reforms and how to improve utilization review and return-to-work.
Why an applicant attorney’s perspective matters
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.
