MELBOURNE : A class action lawsuit on behalf of former professional Australian rules players over alleged damage to their health caused by concussions sustained during their careers was lodged in Victoria's Supreme Court on Tuesday.
"Their careers are finished and years later they find these concussion-related injuries creeping in and affecting their ability to work, their ability to have a happy family life," Michel Margalit said outside the court in Melbourne. More than 60 players have already signed up to the class action and more are expected to follow. The case covers any player who sustained concussion-related injuries while playing or training since 1985.
