The New York Court of Appeals ruled Thursday on separate personal-injury cases involving former public school athletes who were hurt during organized practices in 2017, and whose quests for recovery had been rejected by the Appellate Division, Third Department, because of the assumed-risk doctrine.

In one of the cases, involving a baseball player in Grady v. Chenango Valley Central School District in Central New York, the high court issued a 5-1 decision that reversed the appellate order, sending the case to a jury trial, due to remaining questions of fact.
