Gwyneth Paltrow Will Not Recoup Legal Fees After Ski Collision Lawsuit Victory

Gwyneth Paltrow will not recoup the attorneys' fees she paid to defend herself against a lawsuit from a retired optometrist who claimed she was at fault for crashing into him at a Utah ski resort in 2016.
Gwyneth Paltrow won't be compensated for attorneys' fees for successfully defending herself against a lawsuit from a retired optometrist who claimed she was at fault for crashing into him at a Utah ski resort in 2016.
District Court Judge Kent Holmberg's final judgement affirmed the jury's unanimous verdict finding Terry Sanderson to be “100% at fault," awarding Paltrow the $1 she sought in a countersuit.
Sanderson would not appeal the verdict, effectively ending a protracted legal battle seven years after the two crashed on a beginner run near the base of Deer Valley Resort in Utah.
Paltrow subsequently countersued for the symbolic $1 and attorneys' fees — claiming Sanderson had crashed into her from behind and was suing to exploit her fame and celebrity.
