The story goes back to 2016, at Deer Valley Ski Resort, Utah. Both collided on a snow track and at the time the matter ended cordially, and even Sanderson wanted to take a selfie with Paltrow which he posted on his Facebook account.
However, in 2019 Sanderson filed a lawsuit for $300,000 (and because they did not give him the amount he wanted: 3.1 million), in an incident that described as a “hit-and-run” case.which caused “a concussion, four broken ribs and brain damage.”
Paltrow testified at trial that it was Sanderson who collided with her. This was also confirmed by his children Moses and Apple Martin, as well as an instructor from the resort who witnessed how a skier hit the actress. Her lawyers claimed that Sanderson’s condition was due to pre-existing health problems and agingsomething that was supported by the medical specialists who took the podium.
After eight days of trial, the verdict found Paltrow not guilty. Therefore, receive the amount set by herself in her counterclaim: one dollar. “I wish you the best” were the last words that the actress dedicated to the plaintiff.
