On February 26, 2016, Terry Sanderson, an optometrist in his late 60s and an experienced skier, was skiing at Deer Valley Resort in Utah when he claims his life changed forever after Gwyneth Paltrow, an Academy Award-winning actress, crashed into him.  In the personal injury lawsuit he filed against Ms. Paltrow and the Deer Valley Resort Company (and which is on trial at the time of this broadcast), Mr. Sanderson is claiming to have suffered a traumatic brain injury, multiple broken ribs and economic loss as a result of the crash.
In this episode of The Blame Game, we try to answer the question of who, if anyone, is to blame for this skiing collision?  Is Ms. Paltrow legally responsible for the harm that Mr. Sanderson claims to have suffered as a result of her negligence?  And what about Deer Valley’s employees – do they bear any responsibility for what happened to Mr. Sanderson and his resulting injuries?
