I was in a car accident not my fault my medical bill are up to $ 95,000 the lady that hit me her insurance covers $ 25,000 and my insurance is covering me for $ 25,000 so I have 50k so far of course I have to discount the 33% of the attorney fee which leaves me with about 30,000 so its not enough to cover my medical bills plus I am not even getting compensation for pain or any loss wages or anything that I am entitle to receive. Whats the next step to take so I can sew the lady that hit me so she can pay for the rest of my medical bills and all my compensations and loss wages please answer if you know only serious answers and reasonable answers please don't say ask your lawyer if I wanted to ask him I would ask him but I want to check this by my own to so I know so anyways thank you.

Regardless of the coverage your insurance or the other driver's insurance provides, you have the right to sue for damages.
You are not understanding the contingency agreement. The attorney will ask for compensation by the defendant for (1) your losses, (2) costs of the lawsuit, and (3) attorney's fees. So the judge may award $ 50,000 losses, plus $ 4,000 costs of the lawsuit (depending on how much discovery is required), plus $ 20,000 in attorney's fees. Deducting one-third of $ 74,000 leaves you almost $ 49,000. That is about $ 49,000 more than you would have without your attorney.
Though you do not want to hear it, I will repeat that you should discuss this with your attorney.
