I have a question about offers and counter offers in a lawsuit. I was severely burned by a defective steamer, resulting in a three-night stay in the burn unit, permanent scarring, and significant medical treatments. My lawyer initially asked for $750,000, but the defendant countered with $25,000. We have since gone back and forth with offers and counter offers. How much longer will this process last, and what can I expect for a final settlement?

I am concerned about the Indemnification; Insurance clause in a lease I am supposed to sign in New Jersey, particularly section (A), which seems to remove any liability from the landlord for damages that he could reasonably be held liable for in court. I am worried that this clause contains illegal language and whether it would hold up in court if I were to sign it. Additionally, I am unsure if I can negotiate this clause or if signing it would still be valid in court, given that the landlord is required to keep the property in repair.
