Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow will be starring in a real-life court drama this Tuesday. On March 21, 2023, the seven-year pending trial over a ski incident will take place at the Third District Court in Park City, Utah.
In 2016, the actress was skiing down Deer Valley Resort’s slopes when she allegedly collided with retired optometrist Terry Sanderson. According to Mr. Sanderson, the impact resulted in a brain injury, concussion, and multiple broken bones.
Nearly three years after the accident, Mr. Sanderson filed a $3.1 million hit-and-run lawsuit against Ms. Paltrow and her ski instructor, Eric Christiansen, who was later dropped from the claims. According to Mr. Sanderson, his delay in filing was due to attorney issues, as well as issues functioning due to the sustained concussion.
