Ed McMahon sues

July 21, 2008

Friday, Ed McMahon sued Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, two doctors and the investment tycoon owner of a home where he says he fell in March 2007 over a neck injury he has said has left him unable to work, a circumstance he has blamed for his recent money woes.

The lawsuit, which seeks an unspecified amount, claiming negligence, battery, elder abuse and intentional infliction of emotional distress, was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The lawsuit gives new insights into the neck injuries McMahon discussed in a recent appearance on Larry King Live. McMahon, 85, explained that he was unable to work as a pitchman because of his injuries - and that is why he fell $644,000 behind on mortgage payments on his Beverly Hills home.
