My first engagement with lawyers

I hope someone can assist or advice me accordingly. I’m going to try and be as brief as possible.

Over a year ago I consulted a law firm to assist me with a case - I was in an accident involving Rapid Tswane and another private vehicle. Unfortunately my car was a complete right off. According to the lawyers I had a solid case as I was the victim. Up to date I’ve already paid over R15000 in legal fees and I still owe an additional R12000 according to my recent statement. I’m very concerned about all the related legal costs, especially after it was confirmed by the lawyers that my initial claim was only limited to R72000. I’m worried that I may never see a cent of the money to replace my car considering the slow progress on my case vs the rapid ascending legal fees.

The lawyers are currently forcing me to commit to a written payment agreement;

“MAGERMAN/RAPID TSHWANE: Urgently furnish us with your payment arrangement by e-mail. We await your urgent e-mail herein. MAT128004 / VZLR INC.”

When I asked the consultant the current status of my case I was told that there are delays due to Covid-19. How is this supposed to encourage me to even consider paying another cent...

End of the day I only want justice to prevail and be able to replace my vehicle.
