The tax law is specific about taxation of settlements and court awards. In short, settlement proceeds and awards related to personal physical injury or personal physical sickness are not taxable and other settlement and award amounts are taxable (e.g., for lost earnings, punitive damages).
You might Google for the IRS documentation about taxation of settlements for personal injuries for details.
