It all depends on how badly you are injured. There are actually many factors. My friend is an auto mechanic and a chisel that was being hammered on broke and a sliver shot across the garage and went thru all 12 layers of his eye. There is no surgery available to fix his blindness in one eye. Workers comp only gave him 90,000. You do not get a lot of money for your injuries. It is not like suing for medical malpractice or for an auto accident. The money they pay is quite less. I would imagine around 40,000 would be your answer and that's only if you have the right lawyer. Get a lawyer!

Yes, a lumbar bulging disc can affect walking due to pain, weakness, or numbness in the lower back and legs. When the disc protrudes, it may compress nearby nerves, leading to symptoms such as sciatica, which can disrupt normal gait patterns. This discomfort or instability may cause individuals to alter their walking mechanics, potentially resulting in further complications or injuries. If symptoms are severe, it's important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.

A bulging L4-L5 disc abutting the thecal sac and a bulging L5-S1 disc can lead to chronic pain, nerve root compression, and potential neurological deficits over time. These conditions may result in symptoms such as lower back pain, sciatica, muscle weakness, or numbness in the legs. If left untreated, they can contribute to decreased mobility and quality of life, potentially leading to further complications like spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease. Regular monitoring and appropriate interventions are essential to mitigate these long-term effects.
A herniated disc is also referred to as a slipped, rupture, bulging, or protruding disc.
A bulging disc in the neck typically cannot travel or migrate to the lower back. However, the same factors that contribute to disc issues in the neck (such as aging, injury, and poor posture) can also affect the discs in the lower back separately. It is important to address any disc issues in both the neck and lower back to prevent further complications.
