Actress and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow is being sued for $3.1 million by a Utah man who claims that she collided with him while skiing at Deer Valley Resort in 2016, causing him a brain injury and four broken ribs. Paltrow has denied the allegations.
The lawsuit alleges that Paltrow was skiing out of control and hit the man from behind, knocking him down and rendering him unconscious. The man claims that Paltrow then left him on the slope and didn’t call for help, causing him to suffer further injuries.
Paltrow has denied the allegations and has filed a countersuit against the man, claiming that he was the one who caused the collision and that he is trying to exploit her fame and wealth. Paltrow’s lawyers have also argued that the man waited too long to file his lawsuit and that it should be dismissed.
Skiing accidents are not uncommon, and collisions between skiers can result in serious injuries. Resorts typically have rules and regulations in place to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of their guests. However, accidents can still occur, and determining fault can be difficult.
Regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety while skiing and the potential consequences of accidents on the slopes. Skiers should always be aware of their surroundings and follow the rules and guidelines set by the resort.
