Should my parents be able to take all the money from my settlement?

5 years ago, my mother and I got into a car accident. The accident itself was entirely the other party’s fault and recently my mother received her settlement (a substantial amount of money). Her lawyer argued that the accident left my mother out of work and that it has caused her pain for an extended amount of time (which it has). Anyways, the lawyer is now working on my case and since my mother is paying for the lawyer, my mother has said that I would NOT be receiving money from the settlement. I am currently 18 years old and do live with my parents. My parents pay for college and living expenses (but If I were to leave home, they would basically disown me). Is it fair that my parents get to keep the money for my settlement? I think that it would be much more reasonable to deduct the amount the lawyer charged from the settlement and allow me to have the rest. Am I being unreasonable?
