lawyer malpractice

I was recently involved in a motorcycle accident involving another vehicle,who was at fault.My lawyers did not sue the at fault drivers insurance company claiming the driver could file for bankrupt.The lawyer encouraged me to take the settlement which would pay my hospital bills,leaving me with a small sum for myself.After settling I discovered the lawyers had failed to handle all of my hospital bills before sending me my settlement check leaving ten thousand dollars to be paid by me.the lawyer claimed he had negotiated a reduction with the hospital.Somehow my second surgery costs were excluded from the reduced rate.When I spoke with my lawyer he told me I was responsible for the leftover bills.I tried to speak with the guilty parties insurance company to see if the settlement amount was correct.They told me it was confidential info between them and my lawyers.This was in NC.Did I get hoo dooed?If so what is the appropriate action to take? - Is this your question?
