Gwyneth Paltrow cleared of fault over ski crash

Oscar-winning actor Gwyneth Paltrow has prevailed in the civil trial relating to a 2016 ski collision. A retired optometrist Terry Sanderson had sued the actor for liability claiming that she crashed into him while skiing on a Utah mountain, leaving him with life-changing injuries. He sought $300,000 (£245,000) in damages.

Paltrow testified that it was Sanderson who skied into her back as she was downslope from him and countersued for $1 plus legal fees.

After a two-week trial, the jury found Terry Sanderson at fault in terms of comparative negligence and awarded the actor damages of $1, as requested by her. Gwyneth Paltrow’s legal costs will be decided later.

In an emailed statement, Paltrow said: ‘I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity. I am pleased with the outcome and I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and thank them for their thoughtfulness in handling this case.’
