Is it true that you cannot make a personal injury claim unless your medical bills are over 5000 dollars in hawaii? I was struck by a vehicle which made me unable to work, which forced me back to the mainland. I lost thousands of dollars due to flights/rent/lost wages, but I spoke to a lawyer who told me that unless my medical bills are over 5k that I have no claim. How can that be?I have no avenue to regain the thousands of dollars I lost due to my injuries?
