Medical malpractice lawsuit.

Are any of the monies that are awarded from a Medical Malpractice lawsuit taxable ?

Terry Says

A portion may be free of taxes.  According to the IRS, payments for medical malpractice are classified as “ personal physical injuries ” settlements or compensatory damages. The portion of your award that compensates you or reimburses you for medical expenses and losses you suffered from the injury or sickness is non-taxable.
