Re: correct legal agreement
It sounds like a release. A release is where on party (the wrongdoer) agrees to pay the victim a certain amount of money in exhange for an agreement not to make any future claims--regardless of whether the injury was fully appreciated when the settlement was made. Unless the victim is a minor these are generally enforceable--meaning that if you accept the money and sign the release you cannot bring any future claim; so be careful and make sure that you understand fully the loss and long term effect of the injury.
