McMahon Lawsuit Can Proceed, Judge Rules
A California judge has ruled that Ed McMahon may proceed with his lawsuit against Cedar-Sinai Medical and two doctors over claims that they failed to diagnose and treat injuries suffered during a fall last year. McMahon is seeking a jury trial on allegations of negligence, elder abuse, battery, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The hospital had challenged the legal basis for McMahon’s claims. Anthony McCartney, USA Today 09/23/2008
