Pucovski Sues Brighton Grammar Over 2014 Concussion Handling

Former Australian Test cricketer Will Pucovski has filed a lawsuit against his former school, Brighton Grammar, alleging it breached its duty of care by mishandling a concussion he suffered during a football training session in 2014, an injury his lawyers claim was the first in a series that ultimately ended his professional career. The statement of claim was lodged in the Supreme Court of Victoria on August 25, 2026. The legal action centers on an incident in May 2014, when Pucovski, then 16, was struck in the temple by a teammate's knee during a full-contact "keepings off" drill.
