Corey Harrison, the 42\u2011year\u2011old reality TV personality known from \u201cPawn Stars,\u201d was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in Tulum, Mexico, in January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to his GoFundMe description and news reports, Corey suffered 11 fractured ribs, a punctured lung, a concussion, and internal bleeding at the scene of the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the critical early days after the accident, Corey was hospitalized in Playa del Carmen for roughly two weeks, but overwhelming bills made continued care difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corey told outlets he left the hospital \u201cagainst medical advice\u201d because he could no longer afford the mounting costs of treatment in Mexico\u2019s pay\u2011before\u2011care system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After returning to his home in Tulum, he experienced extreme pain and dangerously low oxygen levels, prompting emergency house visits from doctors administering IV fluids and morphine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because he was unable to afford continued private hospital care, friends drove him to a more affordable facility in M\u00e9rida, over four hours away, amid great physical discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doctors in M\u00e9rida discovered a separated rib pressing into his lung. Surgeons drained nearly three liters of blood and performed three life\u2011saving surgeries during an additional 18\u2011day hospital stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The total medical charges from both hospitals, emergency care, surgeries, follow\u2011ups, and related costs quickly exceeded $100,000, with some estimates suggesting up to $120,000 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corey reportedly spent his entire bank account, borrowed from friends and family, and now says he has just about $400 left, according to statements to media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the months since, he has fallen behind on rent in Mexico by around three months and continues to face ongoing medical and rehabilitation expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close friend Aron Chambers created a GoFundMe page with Corey\u2019s blessing to raise emergency funds to help cover outstanding costs, rent, medication, therapy, and travel back to the U.S. for further care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The original GoFundMe goal exceeded $100,000, though some reports note the page was adjusted to a lower near\u2011term target of around $18,000 for immediate needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of the latest reporting, several thousand dollars have been raised toward this campaign from fans and supporters online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corey has said in updates that he remains too weak to fly home and is still fully focused on recovery and getting stronger before any travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also acknowledged that he continues to receive residual checks from \u201cPawn Stars\u201d reruns but clarified he is no longer a regular contributor to the show and has had limited income recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite his public plea, his father Rick Harrison has publicly disputed some details, stating he paid Corey\u2019s medical bills \u201clong before\u201d the GoFundMe was launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rick also emphasized that Corey is an adult and responsible for his own financial decisions, though the family remains supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corey responded that the status of the funds from his father and how they are considered (a loan versus a gift) remains part of their personal and business relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans and observers have responded on social media with a mix of sympathy, questions, and discussion about healthcare, finances, and the realities of costly medical care following serious accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corey\u2019s accident also meant missing personal milestones, including family events, while he stays focused on healing and trying to regain strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ongoing situation remains evolving, with updates on Corey\u2019s health, fundraising totals, and family comments continuing to emerge as more details become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
