Right-wing talk show host Dennis Prager is sued Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Medical Center and two other medical facilities for malpractice, accusing them of failing to properly treat a spinal injury and causing “costly complications.”

Prager injured his spine in November 2024 when he slipped and fell backward after stepping out of the shower, according to Courthouse News Service, which first reported the suit March 16. .

The host said in his complaint in Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, that he “still had some feeling and ability to move his toes” but was “otherwise unable to move his limbs and/or breathe on his own," when he was admitted to the hospital.

The talk show host previously praised his medical team at Cedars Sinai, claiming he was told it was a "miracle" that he could talk on his own after the injury, but alleged in the lawsuit that "critical errors" in his medical care prevent him from being able to return to his show.

“He has been unable to return to work, he has been unable to get off of the ventilator for long enough to have even one three-hour conversation, and his ability to communicate and work in general has been grossly hindered," the complaint reads. 

“The catastrophic wounds Prager suffered required multiple surgical interventions,” it continues, “and rendered Prager ineligible for treatment at the overwhelming majority of rehabilitation and post-acute facilities nationwide, transforming what should have an intensive recovery phase to extended medical management.”

Prager said some of his injuries included ulcers on his back because he was not turned over often enough.

The talk show host is also suing Barlow Respiratory Hospital, which specializes in weaning patients off of ventilators, and Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center. 

Prager did not specify how much he is seeking in damages but noted that his medical bills have exceeded $5 million since the injury.
