Will Pucovski sues Brighton Grammar over 2014 concussion treatment
Pucovski alleges school negligence in 2014 concussion led to career-ending head injuries.
Will Pucovski has filed a lawsuit against Brighton Grammar. He was 16 when he sustained the concussion in 2014, and he claims the school didn't handle it properly. That first blow, he says, set off a chain of thirteen more head injuries that finally ended his career at 26.
He had played 16 first-class matches and scored two centuries for Australia A before the repeated concussions forced him out.
The case will test whether the school's response met the medical standards of the time. Proceedings are expected to start later this year.
