Dennis, Glad to hear the babies are ok! Sorry you and your family suffered this situation. Hope they have great health in the future.

Actually, he has publicly stated that they are going to give the money to raise awareness. But, even if he didn’t, that’s his business and his right. I would have had no issue with him putting that money in a trust for the twins, since they are the ones who nearly lost their lives. Him being a celebrity does not make his children any less entitled to just compensation.

Mischmetal, they may have been suing the drug company for what is known as a marketing defect. Apparently, the labels on the herapin bottles were very similar making it easy to look over. The drug company could have been found liable for negligently labeling the medicine (if the claim hadn’t been dismissed).

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Dennis Quaid, wish you all the best to you and your family. Merry Christmas, and hope you have lots more with your family and loved ones. I know I am happy for you. With love and SUPPORT.

Thank God for the Quaids!!! If not for them shedding light on potentially deadly practices, how many more infants could have died or been injured? Sadly, only money talks – which means, change would not have occured by just showing who did what when. The only way to get the attention of the hospitals, doctors, nurses, and the pharm. companies is through successful litigation. The Quiads should be commended for a wonderful public service they’ve rendered.

If Mr. & Mrs. John Doe had this happen to their twins, I’m sure the amount would have been significantly less.

Let’s hope the Quaids decide to do the honorable thing and donate the money to a charity. One that helps those who need financial assistance in order to obtain legal representation for their own medical negligence cases.

It is very sad to know that DQ could have lost his babies. The money, he does not need, but still should be put in a trust fund for the twins. Something for college. Thank God they are all right. I know that they will do the right thing with the money.

I think they should donate some of the money to other families who have lost children from this problem. I’m pretty sure some families can’t pay for high end attorneys to get them a huge pay off, so I think it would good for the Quaid’s.

I think the money should go to training and awareness!
I don’t believe any person/s should get money because of this!
Don’t get me wrong, they went though a horrible ordeal that no one should have to ever go through. I understand suing to pay for med bills etc.. but not for personal gain!

I think that the Quaids had every right to sue the hospital. They were very lucky that it didn’t end in death. I hope that they put the money to a good charity or even use it to better train the hospital staff there, so that this sort of thing doesn’t happen again.

Thank god for the Quaid’s becoming activists for all children. Sad to think how many babies did not live prior to their incident.
