The Corey Harrison motorcycle crash medical bills have become a major concern for the “Pawn Stars” personality after a serious accident in Mexico earlier this year.
Corey Harrison revealed that his father, Rick Harrison, stepped in to help pay a portion of the hospital costs following the crash. However, he stressed that the support was not unlimited and that his father could not fund everything.
The reality TV star explained that Rick covered at least half of the six-figure hospital bills, helping him manage the immediate financial pressure after the accident.
Discussing the situation, Corey, often known as “Big Hoss” on “Pawn Stars”, said people should not assume the family is still earning the same income as during the show’s peak years.
According to Corey, television revenues are not what they once were, and the family now faces many other expenses. Rick Harrison also has personal financial responsibilities, including his recent marriage and the support of his other children.
Despite receiving help, Corey said he plans to pay his father back. He emphasised that his dad has always taken a strict approach to money.
Corey said Rick has made him work for everything throughout his life, adding that the assistance after the crash does not change that principle. The accident left Corey dealing with high medical costs and financial strain.

After using his savings to cover hospital expenses, he turned to fans for help through a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser aims to help him recover financially while he is unable to work.
So far, the campaign has raised more than $6,000 toward an $18,000 goal, according to reports.
Corey also shared that his father had warned him in the past to stop riding motorcycles, advice that became especially relevant after the recent crash.
