What is the average workmans comp settlement for a lower leg amputation?

I am 24 year old male and I live and work in Minnesota, back in March I was a victim of a grain auger accident, resulting in the amputation of my lower left leg, 4inches below the knee, my knee can only bend in a 90 angle so it no longer has full mobility, and as for my leg, we are yet to know if it will make for a good prosthetic stump. basically what I am asking here is if anyone knows about the Average settlement i will be looking for, (up until this time i have not thought about the money, trust me if i could give it all back to have my leg/old life back i would). but from what i heard was it would be in the mid twenty thousands, but then I have also know a few people that have had amputations at work, where just for a middle finger there was about the same settlement (35 years ago) and I have a Friend that was in a motor Vehicle accident where he sub stained nearly the same injury as myself and received a much larger settlement,we are talking nearly two hundred thousand dollars. please no negative feed back, I have already been through enough, I'm not looking for a hand out, I'm just trying to see if anyone has gone through something like this, and what their experience has been, also I have been couping with this fairly well, is that normal, i mean right from the get go i have been positive, has anyone else had it that easy? Thank you for you info and stories!
