Ed McMahon Settles Lawsuit Against Cedars

Ed McMahonLawyers 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."

As TMZ first reported, the twins nearly died last year when they were given an overdose of a blood thinner called Heparin, and on today's "Oprah" he toured Cedars to see how they've improved the system with computerized record keeping.

He looked pleased with the results -- and also said his kids are now "healthy and happy."
