i would be VERY careful. maybe not even work at all. doctors don’t have ALL the answers you know. and you know yourself better than the doctor, so if you’re hurting, be careful, take it easy, and if you can’t work like that, don’t. you need to heal.

Yes you will hurt yourself! I too am a housekeeper and have had 2 occasions of severe back injury, I have learnt from returning to work too soon you will cause more damage. get yourself as pain free and fit as possible before returning, see a good osteopath, once pain better do as much as you can in the day, laying around will make other muscles weak, an osteopath will tell you what exercises will help without causing more damage. I was off 3 and half months, then 3 months , 3 years later due to me lifting something badly, you have to keep in mind your injury at all times when working , I have learnt how to manage it, you will, give it more time, trust me, or you will end up back home and with more pain and damage.GOOD LUCK, YOU WILL GET BETTER.

No one here can give you an answer. A reasonable settlement/award range hinges on dozens of factors: pre-existing conditions, extent of injuries, medical expenses, prognosis, etc. Practically speaking, you will not recover any more than the insurance policy limits, and very likely significantly less.
