Located in Windsor, Connecticut, he focuses his practice primarily on workers' compensation matters, providing representation to claimants throughout the Hartford County region. Mr. Dombrowski is admitted to practice in Connecticut and before the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, and he has been certified as a specialist in workers' compensation law by the Workers' Compensation Section of the Connecticut Bar Association.

Mr. Dombrowski assists people who have been injured on the job or who have incurred an occupational disease and who are seeking their rightful benefits under their employer's workers' compensation insurance coverage. He works with them from the outset, helping to ensure that their required claim contains all necessary information and that it is filed on a timely basis. In the event that the claim is disputed or denied, Mr. Dombrowski can provide representation at subsequent appeals hearings.  He also has satellite offices in Berlin and Plainville, CT.

In general, people who are injured on the job cannot file a lawsuit against their employer, and workers' compensation benefits are their exclusive remedies. However, one exception is when the accident was caused by the gross negligence or willful action of the employer. In addition, it is sometimes possible to file a lawsuit against a non-employer third party, such as the manufacturer of a defective piece of equipment. Mr. Dombrowski has experience in pursuing these types of actions to maximize the compensation that his clients can receive.

Mr. Dombrowski's successful track record throughout his career has earned him the respect of his colleagues, as evidenced by his "Superb" peer review rating through Avvo. He obtained his legal education at the Temple University Beasley School of Law and was awarded his Juris Doctor in 2001.
