The star is recovering and will soon be transferred to a rehabilitation facility after having surgery to repair the three spinal fractures that resulted from the accident, according to insiders who spoke to TMZ.
Though Hart, 40, is on &#8216;heavy pain medication&#8217; he&#8217;s still feeling an immense amount of discomfort.
Kevin plans on moving to a rehab facility early next week, or possibly over the weekend.
The healing process will last &#8216;months and months&#8217; according to the insider.
Hart was injured on Sunday night when his Kevin&#8217;s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda crashed through a fence on Mulholland Highway in the Malibu area.
Kevin was a passenger while his friend Jared Black was driving. He also suffered serious back injuries.
Making things worse, the car was only equipped with old school lap belts and not modern safety harnesses.
Hart under went surgery to repair his spine earlier this week. Sources told TMZ that the surgery on Sunday night involved fusing two fractures in his upper back and one in his lower.
At the time, the source added that though the procedure was successful, Hart is still plagued with searing pain.

Lower back fractures can often leave people with walking problems but doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
A concerned friend of Hart told 911 dispatchers the comedian was unable to move and incoherent following his horror crash.
She also claimed the incident had taken place just 20 minutes before she made the call, contrary to police records.
This twist in the bizarre saga comes hours after a witness, who also dialed 911 in the immediate aftermath of the crash, told TMZ he saw Hart being helped from his totaled 1970 Plymouth Barracuda by security from the driver&#8217;s side window before being whisked away in a black Escalade.
California Highway Patrol reportedly said it was Jared Black, the fiance of Hart&#8217;s wife&#8217;s personal trainer, who was found in the driver&#8217;s seat when they arrived.
Later, calling from Hart&#8217;s home at 2.13am, the unknown female caller said the comedian was in an extremely bad way, was &#8216;not coherent at all&#8217; and that &#8216;he can&#8217;t move&#8217; while also pointing to a protrusion like injury to his back.
The caller also said, &#8216;he can&#8217;t move&#8217; and had injured something on his back.
She said the accident took place 20 minutes ago outside of their gated community &#8211; despite the crash occurring nearer to 1am, according to police and witness records.

The male caller who arrived in the aftermath of the accident said there were two people stuck inside the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, but then clarified that &#8216;there was three [people] I guess&#8217; later on as he tried to make sense of the crash in real time.
The caller said everyone was conscious, but &#8216;scared because they&#8217;re stuck in there,&#8217; before adding &#8216;the roof is crushed, the car is pretty totaled,&#8217; TMZ reported.
A dispatcher is heard reassuring the caller, telling him that an ambulance was on the way and ensuring none of the passengers were suffering from breathing problems.
Hart&#8217;s vintage car veered off the road over the weekend and plummeted into a ditch, leaving the comedian and a friend requiring weeks of grueling physical rehab.
Hart was believed to be the passenger in the Barracuda with his wife&#8217;s personal trainer Rebecca Broxterman, 31, and her fiancé Jared Black, 28.
Black, who was driving, allegedly lost control of the car as it veered off the road and down a hill off of Mulholland Highway.
Black and Broxterman, an Instagram fitness model, were trapped inside when authorities arrived.
&#8216;Hart and Black sustained major back injuries as a result of this collision and were transported and treated at nearby hospitals,&#8217; Highway Patrol said in a report.
Broxterman sustained no injuries and Black was not under the influence.
It came just hours after Hart posted to social media behind the wheel of the classic car.

His car careened down an embankment roughly &#8217;10 feet off the road&#8217; and smashed into a wooden fence, crushing the roof on impact.
Witnesses revealed that a member of Kevin&#8217;s security team &#8216;showed up in an SUV and picked him up&#8217;.
Photos from the scene of the collision were equally as horrific, showing the car wrecked.
The top of the classic ride was completely gone with a smashed windshield on top of a missing hood.
Most of the body of the vehicle was still intact despite major dents on the trunk and side doors.
The actor&#8217;s wife Eniko Hart confirmed Kevin was doing well, saying he was &#8216;going to be just fine&#8217; in video obtained by DailyMail.com.
His back surgery was declared &#8216;a complete success&#8217; by sources for The Blast.
Earlier on Saturday, Kevin took the bright blue car out for a ride and spun out his tires for a quick video shared to Instagram.
He purchased the car earlier this year as the ultimate birthday gift to celebrate his 40th birthday.
The Philadelphia native is currently recovering in a Los Angeles hospital, where doctors have optimism he can fully recover, as he didn&#8217;t suffer a spinal cord injury.
Doctors expect the Ride Along star to &#8216;make a full recovery&#8217; following the accident.
