Dennis Quaid Reaches Twin Overdose Settlement with Cedars-Sinai

and his wife Kimberly have reached an agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and will be paid $750,000 as compensation for the accidental overdose of their twin babies one year ago, pending approval of a Los Angeles judge.

Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, born in November 2007, were each given massive doses of the blood thinner Heparin, at 1,000 times the common dose for infants. The babies spent five days in intensive care fighting for their lives. They have reportedly suffered no lasting side effects and are healthy thirteen-month-old toddlers. Cedar-Sinai was fined $25,000 by the California Department of Public Health after an investigation into the incident.

Court papers filed Monday with L.A. Superior Court said, "The settlement is the result of extensive negotiation between the parties and their respective legal representatives, and is intended to avoid the time, expense and uncertainty of litigation."

The Quaid's have also filed a lawsuit again Heparin manufacturer Baxter Healthcare Corporation over negligence in packaging adult and pediatric dosages in similar vials. This is believed to be how the mix-up occurred.
