injusry case unsettled, attorney threatens to sue me

I was involved in car accident 6 years ago. I was NOT at fault. Doctor gave me attorneys card, I was new to the area, hired him. It has been 6 years. He is threating to sue me for almost 8,000 plus expenses for not coming to an arbitration last week. I had hurt my back again and could not drive. I canceled 36 hours before the arbitration. Can he sue me for canceling?
