According to CNN, a verdict has been reached in the Gwyneth Paltrow skiing collision case. (In case you missed it, she was sued over injuries sustained in an accident at an Utah resort in 2016.) I hear Iron Man will swoop in to save the day if Paltrow loses.

Not liable. Seemed like a farce, the plaintiff sounded like a cousin of the Trump family.
It’s easy to envy the power and money, but I bet they envy our normalcy. Had I been in her position, we probably would have had a beer and handshake and never heard from each other again. She gets dragged into a national celebrity court case, all because she committed the crime of trying to enjoy a vacation with her family.

Yeah, just saw that. I doubt if the suit would have been brought had the collision not been with someone with a deep pocket.Not liable. Seemed like a farce, the plaintiff sounded like a cousin of the Trump family.

wonder how high her legal bills were, and if he’ll have to pay them. I’m sure it’s way more than the $300k he was asking for.
As an avid skier, I’ve chatted about this a bit on a ski forum. This guy’s list of injuries implied he’d been trampled by an elephant instead of a small woman.

I would argue that any person who owns a company named "Goop" that makes a vagina scented candle should be brought up on some sort of charges.
I wonder if she used goop on her skis to go faster?
Sanderson revealed to reporters outside the courthouse what she said.
“Her exact words: ‘I wish you well,’” Sanderson said. “Very kind of her.”
He said he responded, “Thank you, dear.”

Hard to know what to make of Paltrow generally. I’m Gen X and kind of grew up with her, and enjoy some of her performances. She certainly knows how to be charming and I think is shrewd. I hope she’s telling the truth with how it turned out. The legal bills are nothing to her but perhaps not to him. They’d be serious business to me.

My eyebrow is up more over the new age snake oil she's shilling than any scented candle, TBH.

Agreed. I am glad she fought it. Most people in her position would have just paid it and gone on. But she believed she did nothing wrong and fought it.
I wish more insurance companies would fight frivolous claims harder and the next person might not try.
I did not follow this closely but my impression was there were no witnesses and no cameras to record the incident? The both claim the other struck them.
My recent exposure to hiring a lawyer (indirectly) makes me wonder how any average person could afford the bill for services rendered. I recognize the origin of the term blood suckers.
I don’t think there was definitive proof of who was at fault, though jurors have said they believed Paltrow’s version more than Sanderson’s. I also heard Paltrow's lawyers showed video and other evidence of Sanderson engaging in activities in the years following the accident that suggested much less injury than he claimed.
