It may depend on your particular state but, e.g., in Wisconsin money for pain and suffering is not taxable income.
No. Areas of a settlement such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering are not taxed.
This may seem confusing, because you brought a lawsuit for things workers’ compensation doesn’t pay for, but under the law, the workers’ compensation carrier has a right to reimbursement even if your entire settlement was allocated to pain and suffering
A 'personal injury' or 'medical malpractice' specialist might be a good place to start.
Yes, you can get money for that. But you have to win a lawsuit and be awarded damages.
Very simply, it is a lawsuit that seeks money in return for the wrong the defendant is alleged to have done. The most common example is a car accident case where the plaintiff seeks a money judgment for pain and suffering and reimbursement of medical expenses. This type of lawsuit is distinguished from one seeking what is called "equitable relief". This type of lawsuit asks the court to make the defendant do something he/she was obligated to do, or set aside a will, or oder a property partitioned and other types of things other than just giving money.
A settlement is usually split into two parts, recovery of damages sustained, and pain/suffering (putative). For recovery of costs, the settlement is not taxed. For pain/suffering it is taxed.
State laws on the recovery of damages for pain and suffering vary greatly. In lieu of a lawsuit, I recommend mediation (I happen to be a certified mediator--doesn't work with insurance companies) or arbitration (which can be binding or non-binding). However, a lawsuit will likely be the only way you will be able to collect pain and suffering if you are battling an insurance company. A personal injury lawyer in your area can give a free consultation (see the yellow pages) and inform you of your state's laws on damages for pain and suffering, as well as any alternative dispute resolution forums in your area.

You can sue your insurance company for a higher amount but there is no guarantee that you will win. You will need to have proof and be convincing that you deserve more money for the pain and suffering.
