Actor Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly have been awarded $750,000 after a hospital blunder that left their infant twins fighting for their lives last year.

The couple reached the settlement against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for the accidental overdose of newborns Thomas and Zoe, who were mistakenly given a near-fatal amount of blood thinner Heparin and spent days battling for their lives.

The twins have since recovered.

According to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday: “The settlement is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties and their respective legal representatives, and is intended to avoid the time, expense and uncertainty of litigation.”
