LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
A hospital sued by Ed McMahon over treatment of his broken neck wants a judge to reject many of the former “Tonight Show” sidekick’s claims.
Attorneys for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center wrote in Wednesday filings that McMahon failed to prove allegations of fraud, battery, elder abuse and emotional distress. They also want to prevent McMahon from seeking punitive damages.
McMahon sued Cedars-Sinai last month, alleging they discharged him with a broken neck after a fall last year. He also accused the hospital and a doctor of botching two surgeries.
A judge will consider whether to dismiss portions of McMahon’s lawsuit next month.
McMahon has said the injuries prevented him from working as a pitchman and contributed to his money woes.
