More details to this question:
This woman fell in the street in Newark, NJ over a year ago. She had a compound fracture of her ankle. She is still on crutches. I'm not sure if she is still receiving medical care. I think she is entitled to compensation as she fell in a hole in the street. I'm just trying to help her.

she may be entitled to compensation, but if she is homeless and does not have health insurance, all of the compensation she might receive would go to pay those meidcal bills, or to reimburse the care provider (if she has Medicaid or some other benefit). Before getting involved you should determine what benefits (if any) she receives and what potential liens could be placed on any monies she receives.
