I think you are going to need to provide some more definitive information to get a definitive answer.

Generally yes unless it is attributable to physical (not emotional) injuries and sickness under §104 but even that has conditions.  Character of the income from settlement, which depends on the original of the claim, would determine how it gets taxed.
