Can you take a person who filed for bankruptcy to court?

Yes, just because a person has filed bankruptcy does not mean they are immune from lawsuits. Your may have problems collecting any settlement you may win, but the settlement will not be discharged and they will be forced to pay it when the time comes. It may be even easier to win a judgment. If they did not include you in their bankruptcy, they will not be able to discharge the debt as easily and will be required to pay the amount they had previously promised to pay you plus court costs.

When in a chapter 13 bankruptcy for more than 4 years and receiving money for a 100 percent disability that happened after filing bankruptcy can bankruptcy take the settlement?

"Bankruptcy" does not take anything. The Chapter 13 Trustee is the one who "takes" anything there is to be taken. And, no, your settlement - if you mean a retroactive check for disability (SSDI) - is not available to the trustee. If you are talking about a settlement of a lawsuit, probably not, unless the cause of action existed at the time you filed the c. 13 and did not exempt any possible award. Talk to your bankruptcy lawyer.
