Cricketer Will Pucovski sues Melbourne school over alleged concussion
The former Australian test batter alleges a concussion he suffered during an "aggressively physical" football training session at Brighton Grammar 12 years ago ultimately ended his professional cricket career.
Former Australian cricketer Will Pucovski has filed a lawsuit against his former high school, Brighton Grammar School, alleging that a concussion he sustained during a football training session in 2014 led to his retirement from professional cricket. According to the lawsuit, the trauma from the head injury caused a traumatic brain injury from which Pucovski has never fully recovered.
The claim alleges that the training drill was aggressively physical and intended to cause injury, resulting in Pucovski suffering a head collision that knocked him unconscious and led to various health issues, including persistent headaches, mental health disorders, and vision impairment. Pucovski's lawyers argue that Brighton Grammar School failed to provide adequate care and treatment for his injury and did not follow proper concussion protocols.
