Yes. If you’re homeless, you’re entitled to get money from a personal injury case when you’re physically injured in an accident because of someone’s negligence. You may be able to get money immediately, and your personal injury case could be worth $millions, even if you’re homeless, and YOU DON’T NEED MONEY TO HIRE US!
Do Personal Injury Lawyers Represent People Who Are Homeless?
Some personal injury lawyers in New York may not be interested in your accident case if you’re homeless because of difficulties staying in contact. But we have obtained a lot of money for homeless clients who were physically injured in an accident.
One of my first personal injury clients was homeless in New York City. She was injured when she was hit by a car in a pedestrian accident. It was because she was homeless that I got the phone number 1-800-HURT-911, so she could call me toll-free. I got her a lot of money that she was able to use to rent an apartment in New York City.

If I Am Homeless, Can I Get Money for an Accident and Keep My Government Benefits?
Yes. If you receive public benefits, like Medicaid, Snap Food Stamps, or Housing, we can protect your public benefits so you can receive both your personal injury settlement money and your public benefits.
Your settlement money from your personal injury case can be deposited into a Special Needs Trust with a credit or debit card you can use to pay for things you want. Another type of trust is a Pooled Trust that you can use to pay for things you want.
If I Am Homeless, How Do I Pay for Medical Bills After a Car Accident?
If you were hit by a car in New York, the car’s No-Fault insurance company will pay for all of your medical treatment even though you were a pedestrian, homeless, and don’t have insurance. The car’s No-Fault insurance will also pay for your transportation to doctors.
If you were injured in a hit-and-run accident by a car that left the accident scene or a car that did not have insurance, you will have No-Fault insurance from MVIAC, a New York State agency.
If I Am Homeless, How Do I Pay for Medical Bills After an Accident?
If you were physically injured in another type of accident, like a slip and fall accident or a trip and fall accident, and need medical treatment but don’t have health insurance or Medicaid, we can get you on Medicaid retroactively.
If you have Medicaid and have difficulty finding doctors that accept Medicaid, we can find good doctors who accept Medicaid.
We can also obtain medical treatment for you without Medicaid.
If you need transportation to doctors, we can arrange transportation for you.
Some Accident and Personal Injury Settlements We Obtained for People Who Were Homeless
I settled a personal injury case in three months and obtained the entire insurance policy for a homeless woman in New York City who was injured in a pedestrian accident when she was hit by a car. This was in addition to getting her hospital and medical bills paid.
We obtained the entire $50,000 insurance policy within a few months for another homeless woman on Long Island whose foot was run over by a car in another pedestrian car accident. This was in addition to getting her hospital and medical bills paid.
We settled a case for $40,000 for a homeless man who was struck by a taxi in the Bronx in another pedestrian accident. We could have gotten more, but he needed the money and wanted to settle quickly. This was in addition to getting her hospital and medical bills paid.
We settled a case in three weeks for $25,000 for a homeless woman who was struck by a car on Long Island in another pedestrian car accident. This was in addition to getting her hospital and medical bills paid.
