McMahon filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the hospital claiming that in 2007 the staff at Cedars-Sinai had misdiagnosed a neck fracture he suffered. McMahon&#8217;s suit sought damages for the misdiagnoses as well as two allegedly botched surgeries following the diagnoses.The article further mentions that McMahon is pursuing a personal injury lawsuit against the owner of the mansion where McMahon suffered the neck injury. According to the story, McMahon&#8217;s attorneys are filing an action in Superior Court to ban any mention of his Cedar-Sinai settlement in the injury lawsuit.Medical malpractice is a complicated legal issue. McMahon&#8217;s case addresses two potential sources of medical errors: misdiagnosis and surgical mistakes. Misdiagnosis incorrectly identifies complaints or overlooks serious medical conditions in such a way that undue harm and distress is suffered by the patient. Another example of misdiagnosis is when a physician fails to properly take into account a patient&#8217;s allergies or pre-existing conditions when prescribing medication or a course of treatment.Surgical errors can range from using unsanitary instruments to operating on the wrong tissues. Excessive damage to internal organs, incorrect incisions and failure to properly manage post-operative care are all examples of surgical errors that can lead to medical malpractice lawsuits.If you have any questions about diligence and liability in a medical malpractice case, please contact the experienced medical malpractice attorneys at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Ed McMahon Settles Medical Malpractice Suit","item":"https:\/\/www.habbaspilaw.com\/ed-mcmahon-settles-malpractice-suit\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
