A lawyer for a retired Army optometrist said he and Gwyneth Paltrow were left with permanent brain damage after a skiing crash at a Utah resort in 2016.
Terry Sanderson, 76, sued Paltrow for $3 million after he said he crashed into Paltrow when he wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings at Utah’s Deer Valley Resort, after which it was reduced to $300,000. I was. Paltrow counterclaimed, seeking only $1 and compensation for her legal costs. Paltrow’s attorney, Steve Owens, called Sanderson’s allegations “complete BS” and claimed that it was he who actually hit her with her body, causing minor injuries to her Paltrow. It was described as “a blow to her whole body”.
Sanderson says he suffered four broken ribs, a concussion and a traumatic brain injury after Paltrow crashed into him from behind, and in opening statements Tuesday, his attorney, Lawrence Buehler, said he was injured. is Sanderson’s “ability to deal with life.”
“Distracted skiers cause crashes,” Buehler said. “Defendant Gwyneth Paltrow knew that looking up or to the side of a mountain while skiing down the mountain was dangerous.”
