Welcome to Bourassa Law Group! My name is Isabella Ferreira, and I’m proud to be part of this dynamic team. I began my journey with the firm as a receptionist and have since transitioned to a role as a legal assistant.
My professional growth at Bourassa Law Group has been a testament to my commitment and dedication. Drawing on my experience, I’ve cultivated strong communication skills, a solid work ethic, and a knack for creative problem-solving.
Beyond the legal world, my life has been enriched by my passion for soccer. Having played the sport for 16 years, I’ve learned the value of teamwork and effective communication—traits that seamlessly integrate into my professional life.
Outside of work, I find joy in spending time with my loved ones and indulging in the pleasures of good food. Whether it’s exploring new restaurants or sharing a home-cooked meal, these moments are the essence of what makes life beautiful.
Photography is another love of mine, particularly film photography. Capturing moments through the lens allows me to express creativity and appreciate the artistry in everyday life.
Thank you for allowing me to share a glimpse of who I am. I’m excited to contribute my skills and experiences to the success of Bourassa Law Group and look forward to serving our clients with dedication and passion.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The amount of a personal injury settlement depends on the specifics of the case, such as the severity of the injury, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. It is best to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can review your case and advise you on what a fair settlement amount should be.
Your personal injury claim may be going to court if the other party does not agree to settle your claim. This could be because they do not believe you are entitled to the amount of compensation you are seeking, or because they do not believe that the accident was their fault. If the two parties cannot come to an agreement, then the case may have to be decided in court.
The amount that insurance companies pay for pain and suffering varies depending on the severity of the injury, the type of injury, and other factors. Generally, insurance companies will use a formula to calculate a settlement amount based on the details of the case.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of the amount recovered from the defendant. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.
Yes, you can negotiate a settlement without a personal injury lawyer. However, it is highly recommended that you seek legal advice before attempting to negotiate a settlement on your own. A personal injury lawyer can provide you with the legal knowledge and experience necessary to ensure that your rights are fully protected and that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible.
