Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired optometrist, said the 2016 collision in Utah had left him with four broken ribs and lasting psychological damage.

Overview

  • Gwyneth Paltrow described her 2023 ski trial as 'ridiculous,' criticizing the lawsuit as emblematic of flaws in the legal system.
  • The trial stemmed from a 2016 ski collision at Deer Valley Resort, with Terry Sanderson suing Paltrow for $3.1 million, later reduced to $300,000.

  • A Park City jury found Sanderson 100% liable after less than three hours of deliberation, awarding Paltrow a symbolic victory.
  • Reflecting on the ordeal, Paltrow reaffirmed her commitment to integrity and her decision to fight the lawsuit rather than settle.
