Ed McMahon Settles Lawsuit Against Cedars

Posted May 4th 2009 6:08PM by TMZ Staff

Lawyers for Ed McMahon say the malpractice portion of the lawsuit he filed against Cedars-Sinai Medical Facility, a doctor and two homeowners has been settled.

McMahon sued the hospital for misdiagnosing a neck fracture he suffered at Robert and Kelly Days' Bel Air home back in 2007 -- and then screwing up two spine operations that followed.

The malpractice portion of the suit was settled for an undisclosed amount -- the section of the lawsuit involving the Days is still pending.

UPDATE: A motion was just filed by Ed in the Superior Court of California, trying to ban any offering of "evidence, testimony or argument" regarding the Cedars settlement during McMahon's trial against the Days.

The reason, according to the motion, is there's a "significant danger" the jury will feel Ed has already been "sufficiently compensated."

9. I would never say :its time to leave the world" like #6 did. But we are supposed to hope to leave the world a better place than it was when we entered it. We are supposed to do our best, not "make it" off someones elses expense like hes done all his life. Shame on you Ed!

10. Let me clue you in...Ed got nothing. They might have paid his legal fees, but thats it.

11. Hey, Cedars - you are a mess. You need to treat non-celebrities with the regard and responsibility that you treat people in the media. Your doctors are hurting people, administration is a mess, you violate HIPAA, you violate consent. Right on to anyone who sues for malpractice.

12. Oh good that old slut of a wife can go buy another diamond now.

13. YAYYYYYYYY Ed can get out of debt and stop begging for money.

14. I'm amazed at the anger people have for Ed McMahon. I only know the Ed that worked for NBC and Johnny C five days a week that made me laugh. Unless you know him and his private life, I can't understand the hate posted here. If you do know his personal life then it's sad and pathetic to choose this forum to sound off.

15. Glad his wife will have something to live on as I doubt life with him was rosey...a legend in his own mind. However, it just galls me that was paid millions through the years for shows and endorsements only to die virtually penniless due to his own ridiculous spending and financial irresponsibility.
