LIVE: Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Crash Lawsuit | PEOPLE
Gwyneth Paltrow is appearing in a Park City, Utah court in a lawsuit that alleges she crashed into a man while skiing in Feb. 2016 and left the scene of the crash.
Gwyneth Paltrow is in a US court as a civil trial begins over claims she seriously injured a man in a skiing accident in Utah in 2016.
The actress is being sued by retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, who has alleged Paltrow crashed into him at the Deer Valley resort in Park City.
He claims she skied "out of control", causing "a brain injury, four broken ribs and other serious injuries".
Ms Paltrow has counter-sued, claiming he hit her with a "full body blow".
Opening statements in the jury trial began on Tuesday, with proceedings scheduled to last for eight days. The 50-year-old Oscar winner and her children are expected to testify.
Mr Sanderson, 76, is seeking damages of $300,000 (£245,000), after dropping a previous claim for $3.1m.
The incident occurred in February 2016 on the beginners slope at the Deer Valley resort where Ms Paltrow was skiing on a family vacation.
