A petition filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday shows that Cedars-Sinai is not admitting wrongdoing as part of the settlement.
The agreement must still be approved by a Los Angeles judge.
Two weeks after twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace were born (via a surrogate) in November 2007, they were accidentally given a massive overdose of the blood thinner Heparin and nearly died.
Cedars-Sinai -- which was fined $25,000 by the California Department of Public Health -- has since apologized.
"It was the scariest, most frightening day that I think either of us have ever been through, to come face to face with your little kids who - so young in that kind of situation," Quaid said on 60 Minutes.
The babies are fine now, he told Usmagazine.com earlier this year.
"They just discovered each other," he told Us in February. "That happens with twins - they actually dont even acknowledge each others presence until right around this time. One of them looked at the other one last week and did a double-take; it was really startling like, 'Who are you?'"

The Quaids also sued drug maker Baxter Healthcare Corp. in Illinois over the drug's packaging, but that case has been dismissed.

summerCelebrities like Dennis don't sue in order to make the money, they sue in order to punish those that did wrong. To make them pay for their mistake, to make the mistake public in hopes to prevent the same mistake from occuring again. As proof, he sued the drug company for making the labels of the blood thinner and the other medication almost identical.report abuseposted December 17, 2008 5:41 PM PST

SariebelleI don't think that they should have let the doctors and that hospital get away with almost killing their children. I would not have settled for less than anything. To me this proves that money will mean more than a family to anyone on anydayreport abuseposted December 16, 2008 9:54 AM PST

pat RiotHospitals need a better " Fit For Duty " program. Was the nurse a volunteer or what? As for Pharma, registered nurses cannot be aware of containers altered by Pharma re-modified bottle/shape of pill, for example. Then the greed shareholders gather behind locked doors and further profiteer. God help America.report abuseposted December 16, 2008 7:13 AM PST
