Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in court in the western US state of Utah on Tuesday, where she is being sued for damages by a retired optometrist over a skiing accident seven years ago.
In opening statements, Terry Sanderson’s lawyer said the alleged collision on the slopes of Deer Valley had caused him damages worth $3.3 million. The “Shakespeare in Love” actress has in turn countersued.
Paltrow’s lawyer Steven Owens told the Park City court on Tuesday that Sanderson is “obsessed” with the lawsuit, and that the case was a “meritless claim of false allegation.”
“Really kind of an offensive one. That she somehow left him an unconscious man and bolted? I can tell you, we believe it to be utter BS,” said Owens.
The alleged collision occurred in February 2016 at Deer Valley, a glamorous ski resort above the swanky larger resort of Park City in the Rocky Mountains.
