No sir you don't have to pay so much the fees of the Advocate will be decided by the court itself in it's judgment .It will specifically mention the amount to be paid to advocate . Please go through your judgment thoroughly. There is no specific percentage to be paid to advocate.

Dear Sir/ Madam As your case you should discuss and fnalize advocate fee before filing the case in court. Now your case over and your are going to receive the compensation amount. Now you discuss with your advocate request him to receive what you wish to offer him, if he didn't hear your request, you can complain @ BAR council where your case filed.

have u given fees at the time of filing case to your advocate, and at the time of filing evidences, if you have paid the fees to advocate and to the clerks can i know whether your advocate is also advocate for insurance company. if your advocate is only for you, then the insurance company does not give a single rupee
