The taxability of court settlements depends on what the settlement is for. If it is compensation for a loss, in general it is not taxable. If it is a 'penalty' it will be taxable. Your attorney should be able to tell you what is taxed and what is not taxed. Or consult your tax professional.

Do civil action lawsuit proceeds have to be claimed on income tax?

Depends on what the recovery or award was for. General guideliens are if it stated as for replacing property you lost, putting you back where you were (say damamges to your car), it is NOT taxable (presuming you have not taken the amount of that loss as a casulty deduction previously). If it replaces lost income, from work or say rental property (which would have been taxable if you had received it normally), or is punitive in nature, it's taxable. (Although some of the costs of recovery may be deductible).
