Karl,
Your friend needs to contact the other driver's insurance company and get a claim file opened. If their insured was at fault, they should pay for your friend's medical treatment. Typically, health insurance would pay for the treatment, and then the health insurance carrier would be entitled to have a lien against any settlment proceeds from the automobile insurance policy. However, because your friend did not have health insurance, she is going to need to have the name of the insurance company and a claim number to give to the medical provider when she presents for treatment. Because the accident happened in Ohio, I can't assist you with filing a lawsuit as I am an Indiana Personal Injury Lawyer.
Best of luck to you and your friend.
