Generally, no because all the settlement is doing is making you whole for what you already had. You are not getting paid a profit (which would be taxable).
Now, if a lawsuit is involved and your side prevails, there are other mechanics in motion like that for emotional stress (don't know if that would be taxable), and punitive damages (punishment to the insurance company (That is taxable).
There is another reason you would not have to be taxe as well, and that would be, technically, if you are paying a deductible as well, you are actually getting a loss.

Otherwise you can always sue the company or file a complaint with your state department of insurance if you feel you were denied coverage you paid for.
