Retired optometrist Terry Sanderson experienced a disappointing turn of events after suing Gwyneth Paltrow over a ski accident. Following the announcement of the verdict that Paltrow was not at fault for the ski collision, Sanderson admitted that he regrets going through with the lawsuit. However, it doesn’t mean he and his legal team are willing to leave the case in the past.
In the civil lawsuit, Terry Sanderson alleged that the happily retired actress Gwyneth Paltrow slammed into him while skiing at the Deer Valley ski resort back in 2016. This accident left him with four broken ribs and a permanent traumatic brain injury. He sought damages from the former actress initially asking for $3.1 million only for the judge to dismiss this amount and have it reduced to $300,000. This led to the Iron Man actress counter-suing him a symbolic $1 as well as attorneys’ fees. After both parties and witnesses, including the actress's kids, gave statements, the jury declared that Paltrow was not at fault. This means Sanderson will have to have to pay Paltrow’s legal fees plus a dollar. After receiving his “disappointing” verdict, the plaintiff spoke to Extra TV about if this lawsuit was really worth it.
