The federal income tax statute excludes damages received as a result of personal physical injuries or physical sickness from gross income. Any damages that are meant to compensate the claimant for missed work, medical bills, emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and attorney fees are not taxable as long as they come from a personal injury or a physical sickness.
