PwC is being sued by one of its employees after he lost half his skull following a drunken ‘pub golf’ works do.
Michael Brockie, a senior associate in the audit department, has filed an initial personal injury claim of £200,000 against the Big 4 firm for alleged negligence, after he suffered a brain injury and had to be put into an induced coma in 2019.
The lawsuit says staff at the Reading office were ‘invited’ to a post-work ‘pub golf’ evening, which took in nine bars as part of the drinking game. Brockie claims he became so drunk that he has no memory of the outings after 10pm. He was found in the street in the early hours of the following day after falling over having suffered a severe head injury. The next thing he remembers is four weeks later!
Brockie still suffers from persistent cognitive symptoms, however he returned to work after six months off.
