Dennis Quaid On Capitol Hill
Dennis Quaid is testifying before Congress today about the overdose of Heparin given to his newborn twins in November. He says that the overdose was “a chain of events of human error” and that the “first link in that chain was Baxter,” the pharmaceutical company that manufactures the drug.
Although he has always believed that frivolous lawsuits are a problem in this country, he says that his experience has made him realize that “courts are often the only path that families have that are harmed by drug companies’ negligence.” Click here to watch a clip of his testimony.
Popsquire’s perspective…
Yes, Dennis, frivolous lawsuits are a problem. However, the definition of “frivolous” can be very subjective. Like you, many people have been damaged by others’ action or inaction. As you now realize, the court system may be the only way to address the damage or fix a problem.
Popsquire will keep you posted as this story develops.
