“Jamal woke up that day to go to school, not to be hit by a motor vehicle.”

Dr. Edward Dabrowski is a physiatrist – a physician who specializes in helping patients with disabilities – working in the southeast Michigan area. Over his three-decade long career, Dr. Dabrowski has supported many victims of catastrophic auto accidents through the no-fault system.

Sabrine Duffey, Jamal's mom

Jamal was hit by a vehicle at the age of 10 and catastrophically injured. In discussing her experience supporting her son’s care with the help of Dr. Dabrowski, Jamal’s mom shared that, “Jamal woke up that day to go to school, not to be hit by a motor vehicle. With Dr. Dabrowski, I know when I see him, I am going to get answers. I don’t know what we would’ve done without him.”

Kairis with Dr. Dabrowski

Kairis was hit by a drunk driver in 1992 when she was 12 years old. She was trapped beneath the vehicle and dragged for a few miles, ultimately being pronounced dead at the scene. Today she is a working, productive Michigan resident. In reflecting on the care she has received from Dr. Dabrowski, Kairis noted, “I have a closed-head injury, but he doesn’t treat me that way. He treats me like a normal person.”

Stephanie Williams, Markala's mom

When Markala was 7 years old, she was hit by a vehicle and catastrophically injured. Facing the tremendous task of overseeing her care, Markala’s mom, Stephanie, shared that she felt lost and worried about whether she would ever get her daughter back — until she found Dr. Dabrowski. “He’s not just a doctor, he becomes your friend. I wouldn’t want another doctor to work with Markala,” said Stephanie. 

Michigan auto no-fault is the reason doctors and physicians like Dr. Dabrowski have the resources they need to help catastrophically injured accident victims return to their normal lives as productive Michigan residents.
