In "Bart Gets Hit by a Car," the second season's 10th episode of The Simpsons, Bart finds himself in a tight spot after he's hit by a car while crossing the street. The driver of the vehicle that hits him turns out to be wealthy Mr. Burns, who decides to take advantage of the situation and hire the cheapest lawyer he can find to defend himself in court against the Simpson family's lawsuit.

In the meantime, Bart finds himself in a coma and his family struggles to come up with the money for his hospital bills. Homer tries to sell his blood and Marge hawks her expensive hair to make ends meet, while Lisa petitions for a new city-wide crosswalk to be added to Springfield's streets.

As Bart continues to lie in a coma, he's visited by various figures from his life who tell him about the consequences of his actions and how they've impacted those around him. This includes Homer, who tells Bart about the time he nearly ran him over with his car, and even some angels who try to convince him to make amends before it's too late.

Eventually, the Simpson family's lawyer, Lionel Hutz, convinces Marge to settle the lawsuit for much less than they're entitled. As a result, they face financial hardship but are able to bring Bart home from the hospital.

Overall, "Bart Gets Hit by a Car" is a poignant and funny episode that tackles serious issues like the American healthcare system and the legal system's tendency to favor the wealthy. It's a classic Simpsons episode that balances humor and heart in just the right way.
