NEW YORK (AP) — A former Arena Football League player for the Colorado Crush filed a lawsuit Wednesday alleging that a team doctor mistreated his concussions two years ago, resulting in permanent injury, The New York Times reported on its Web site on Thursday night.
Clay Rush was a kicker for the Crush in 2008 when he sustained a series of hits to the head over several games. The complaint says the hits that were mishandled by a team physician, Dr. Saurabh Mangalik.
Court papers also name HealthONE Clinic Services, Mangalik's employer, as a co-defendant. The lawsuit was filed in state court in Denver.
