I believe this timeframe is fair considering the nature of the damages suffered and your client's liability. 3.

This clause should prohibit both parties from disclosing any information related to the settlement terms or the incident itself unless required by law or written consent. Please consider this counter offer as a genuine attempt to resolve this matter amicably. I strongly believe that the proposed amount accurately reflects the damages and losses I have experienced, taking into account the pain, suffering, and disruption this incident has caused in my life. To facilitate further negotiations, I am open to discussing any concerns or clarifications you may have about my counter offer. I firmly believe that reaching a fair settlement will save all parties involved additional time, costs, and potential legal procedures. I kindly request that you respond in writing within [Enter Deadline], confirming your client's acceptance, rejection, or alternative counter offer. Additionally, please provide any supporting documentation or calculations that are relevant to your decision. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
