Bit if advice needed....
Someone i know had a serious accident at work causing them a fractured skull in 1963, The case was settled out of court for a mere £200. 40 years later he is suffering from it seriously due to brain damage, Obviously this was not known to happen at the time of the accident but would a claim be possible?

uk law states compensation claims for accidents must be made within 5 years of the accident, unfortunately for your friend its very unlikely that anything could be done

NO unfortunatly. There is a time limit called Limitation period and its only 5 or 7 years of when the accident happend. This was in 1963. Him suffering all these years later is irrelevant. Sorry.

Once a claim is settled, paperwork is usually signed that states no further claims will be made.

Not sure, but there used to be a limit period for claims. doesn't help they've already settled. Best to talk to a solicitor.
