If the money you received was for pain and suffering, it is not deductible. Neither is money you received as payment for property damages (your vehicle). If the settlement included amounts for damages, that amount would be taxable. But since it was a settlement, as opposed to a judgment (from a trial) it is probably all pain and suffering and not taxable.
