It can get a bit complicated...and you may well find that how your settlement/award is worded can make a real difference...but in essence: If the payment is for loss of a body part...an arm or eyesight or such...it is NOT taxable as it essentially is replacement of that loss. If it is for loss of income, which would have been taxable had you worked for it, it would be taxable now too. If it is to compensate you, reinburse you for legal fee's etc., or penalize the other, generally, it's taxable.
