Gwyneth Paltrow and the ski accident
The facts date back to 2016. Terry Sanderson claims that the actress and businesswoman, shangive «out of control» in a Deer Valley ski resort, crashed into him causing him “a brain injury, four broken ribs and other serious injuries”. For the damages reported, the 76-year-old asked in 2019 over three million dollars in compensation. Request archived and then restated to $300,000 in the new process that started a few days ago.
The process
The judges’ decision came after an eight-day trial held in the Park City courthouse. Here various testimonies alternated from both sides broadcast in live streaming and which had great resonance in the world of the star system. While Sanderson claimed the right to be compensated for the damage sustained during the accidentGwyneth Paltrow’s lawyers have advanced a defense based on Sanders’ “obsession” with the star.
Defense of the star
During the trial, in fact, it seems that both parties accused each other of the accident. Not only. According to the actress’s lawyers, Paltrow is not only innocent of what happened, but the victim of some sort of Sanderson obsession who, in addition to having exaggeratedly reported the damages suffered, would have tried to “take advantage” of the fame of the celeb. A, apparently, however, without success.
