Gwyneth Paltrow was sued for allegedly crashing into a fellow skier in Park City, Utah, in 2016. Here's everything we know about the trial.
Paltrow is seeking "symbolic damages in the amount of $1, plus her costs and attorney’s fees to defend this meritless claim," her lawsuit said. In her counterclaim, she said Sanderson apologized to her and said he was fine. Sanderson alleged a Deer Valley ski instructor filed a false incident report saying Paltrow didn't cause the crash. After the multimillion-dollar suit was dropped, Sanderson amended the complaint and is now seeking $300,000, claiming that the accident was a result of negligence and left him with physical injuries and emotional distress. He said the Utah man had confirmed he was fine after the crash. Paltrow's legal team, including attorney Steve Owens, told jurors that Sanderson was the one who crashed into her — a collision in which she sustained what they called a "full body blow."
The case likely hinges on who the jury believes was the "downhill" skier, per legal experts.
"And the fact that it's Gwyneth Paltrow is the big elephant in the room." He added that he once saw a woman get hit by a skier who came "blasting out of a tree trail" in Vail, Colorado. In other words, the downhill skier — the person who is further down the slope — has the right of way. "The uphill skier has to watch out for the downhill skier. "When one skier hits another, the issue is negligence. The lawsuit raises questions about who is liable when one skier hits another on the slopes.
Doctors testified that Terry Sanderson was a "high-energy" man who suffered after the 2016 accident.
I want it to stop." "I'm mad. But Dr Gibby pushed back: "The abrupt change in his functioning, his behaviour and his ability to interact with people was not something brought on by his pre-existing conditions." "The ability to function at a high level was lost," he said. "After his accident, he deteriorated abruptly and many of the activities he used to do he stopped doing." Terry Sanderson was a "high-energy person" but "deteriorated abruptly" after the 2016 accident, Dr Wendell Gibby testified.

he would continue to be living," Dr Goldstein said of Mr Sanderson.

The amount of money sought pales in comparison to the typical legal costs of a multi-year lawsuit and trial heavy in expert witnesses. Mr Sanderson, who is a retired optometrist, has been described in court filings and the initial days of the trial as a man who frequently skis at high-end resorts and travels internationally.
