Help!! How to deal with a friends family who had an accident?

I have a friend who a member of her family just had an accident. She's been a close friend for years and she's been in the hospital with her family member and I haven't seen her for a few weeks because I am going to school and working and haven't really had time but the main reason is I don't want to be in the way especially knowing a lot of family will be at the hospital and co-workers and friends.
