The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Crash Trial Week One Explained

Quick Bits

In this week's Quick Bits I cover the Paltrow Ski Crash Trial that started on Tuesday and has been ongoing for the rest of the week. The trial is about a collision that occurred while Gwyneth Paltrow was skiing that allegedly caused injuries to another skier named Terry Sanderson. The parties must establish whether Paltrow caused the collision and whether Sanderson suffered damages. The jury has to decide whether Paltrow is liable for Sanderson's injuries and, if so, what damages should be awarded. During opening statements, the plaintiff's attorney argued that Paltrow hit Sanderson from behind and caused him injuries, while the defense attorney argued that Sanderson caused the collision by skiing into Paltrow. The first witnesses included Sanderson's ski buddy and the woman he was dating during the accident. Several of Sanderson's doctors testified that he has post-concussive syndrome that will continue to impact him and that Paltrow caused his injuries. Sanderson's family members also testified that he has changed since the accident. Paltrow herself testified that Sanderson skied between her skis, his body was against her back, and they fell to the side, causing her to fall on him.
