Terry Sanderson, the retired optometrist who unsuccessfully sued Gwyneth Paltrow over a 2016 ski crash, says taking the Oscar-winning actor to court had “absolutely not” been worth it so far, but he also had not ruled out pursuing an appeal. Civil court jurors in Park City, Utah, found him at fault in his collision with Paltrow at the Deer Valley ski resort. Jurors ultimately ordered Sanderson to give Paltrow the $1 that she had symbolically demanded for damages in a countersuit against the retired doctor and to reimburse her for the legal fees she had incurred, which pundits say could end up costing him about seven figures.
