About our fees

How No Win, No Fee works

We built our firm on 100% No Win, No Fee. Everyone should be able to get a good lawyer, not just those who can afford one. Here is what that means for you.

You pay nothing to start

There is no cost to begin your claim. No upfront fees, no retainer, nothing out of your own pocket.

You only pay if we win

If we do not win your claim, you pay none of our professional fees.

We only charge for work we do

You are charged for the legal work actually carried out on your claim, and nothing more.

You see an estimate before settlement

We give you an estimate of our fee before your claim settles, so there are no surprises at the end.

Our fees come from the settlement

You will not be left out of pocket. Our fees come out of the money we win for you, not from your own savings.

We take the financial stress off you

We know an injury or illness is hard enough already. Our 100% No Win, No Fee promise lets you focus on getting better. We handle the rest.

The process

How working with Zaparas works

Starting a claim with us is simple, and there is no cost to begin. Here is what happens, from your first call to the day your claim is won.

1

Your free first appointment

We meet you at home, in hospital, by phone, by video, or at any of our offices. We listen to what happened, and we tell you honestly whether you have a claim. There is no cost and no obligation.

2

We start your claim

We handle all the paperwork and lodge your claim with the insurer. You do not have to deal with the forms or the deadlines yourself.

3

We build your case

We gather your medical evidence and bring in the right specialists. We value your claim properly, so nothing you are owed is missed.

4

We deal with the insurer

We negotiate hard on your behalf and stand up to the insurer when they offer less than you deserve. You do not face them alone.

5

We win your claim

We settle your claim, or run it to trial if we have to. Our professional fees come out of your settlement, so you are never out of pocket.

A word from our family

“Your focus should be on getting better, not the legal side. We take the financial stress out of your claim because what’s important to you is important to us.”
Paul Zaparas, Managing Partner
