Will Pucovski Sues Former School Over 2014 Concussion Handling
Former Australian cricketer Will Pucovski has filed a lawsuit against his former school, Brighton Grammar, alleging mishandling of his first concussion sustained during a 2014 Australian rules football training session. At 16, Pucovski was knocked unconscious but returned to training shortly after, with his legal claim stating the school failed to follow proper concussion protocols or inform his parents promptly. This injury marked the start of 13 documented concussions that ultimately led to his retirement at age 27, as medical experts recommended. The case is pending in the Victorian Supreme Court.
