Hendersonville, NC (October 24, 2026) - Four people sustained non-life-threatening injuries when a car crashed into M&M The Meat Market in Hendersonville, North Carolina, on Saturday morning, police said.

The Hendersonville Police Department and Hendersonville Fire Department responded around 11:20 a.m. to the business at 1825 Asheville Highway. Henderson County EMS transported all four injured people to a hospital.

Police said they were investigating the cause of the crash. Their initial information suggested it was accidental.

The market confirmed in a social media post that a vehicle had driven through the store and announced that it would temporarily close until further notice.

Lost Wages Alongside Hospital Expenses

For someone injured when a vehicle strikes a business, a potential injury claim is not necessarily limited to hospital expenses. Accident-related lost wages may be considered alongside medical bills. Whether payment is available depends on responsibility and the applicable insurance coverage.

Hospital bills describe treatment costs, but they do not measure earnings missed because an injury prevented someone from working. Those are separate losses. An auto accident lawyer can assess whether injury-related income loss may be included alongside medical expenses in a claim. Pay records and dates of missed shifts can help distinguish an injury-related wage loss from a change in hours for another reason.

Keeping Treatment and Work Records Together

After an injury, keep medical bills alongside any records of missed work rather than combining everything into one estimate. Those records give you a clearer starting point for an insurance conversation, whether your losses involve treatment costs, time away from work or both.
