Corey Harrison Faces Financial Struggles After Motorcycle Accident
Corey Harrison, known for his role on the reality show Pawn Stars, is currently grappling with severe financial difficulties following a motorcycle accident in Tulum, Mexico. The accident resulted in serious injuries, including 11 broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a concussion, leading to over $120,000 in medical bills. With only $400 left in his bank account, Harrison has turned to a GoFundMe campaign to seek financial help from fans, which has raised nearly $5,000 as of March 6, 2026.
Harrison spent 14 days in a hospital in Playa del Carmen before being transferred to a more affordable facility in Mérida. During his hospital stay, he underwent three life-saving surgeries. Despite these efforts, the financial burden has left him feeling hopeless. In a poignant moment, he expressed his despair, stating, “What am I going to do, fly out to Vegas and sell stuff? I can’t move from my recliner.” This sentiment underscores the gravity of his situation.
The accident has not only impacted Harrison’s health but also his family life. He missed his father Rick Harrison’s wedding due to his hospitalization, further complicating his emotional state. Corey is a father to six children, three sons and three daughters, and the pressure to provide for them amid these challenges is mounting.
Adding to the family’s struggles, Corey’s brother, Adam Harrison, tragically passed away in 2024 from a fentanyl overdose. This loss has left a profound impact on Corey, who has expressed reluctance to take heavy painkillers due to the circumstances surrounding his brother’s death. The emotional toll of both the accident and his brother’s passing is evident as Corey navigates this difficult period.
In the wake of his accident, Corey has not renewed his contract with Pawn Stars and is no longer a regular on the show, which is currently on indefinite hiatus after its 23rd season. This change in his professional life adds another layer of uncertainty to his financial situation. As he faces mounting medical bills and a lack of income, the future remains uncertain.
Corey’s father, Rick Harrison, commented on the situation, stating, “Corey is a grown man and he will deal with his life as he sees fit.” This reflects a mix of support and the reality that Corey must find a way to manage his circumstances independently.
As Corey continues to recover, the community’s response to his GoFundMe campaign may play a crucial role in alleviating some of his financial burdens. The ongoing support from fans and the public could provide a lifeline during this challenging time. However, details remain unconfirmed regarding how much longer he will need assistance and what the future holds for him and his family.
