It seems like skiing is not such an easy task for the A-list stars after all. And sliding down the snowy mountains may sometimes lead them to courtrooms as well, with some serious allegations. If you are keeping up with the headlines, you certainly know we are talking about an accusation against the American businesswoman and actress, Gwyneth Paltrow and the trials that are currently going on in the courtroom of Park City, Utah.

For the unversed, here are the details. A retired optometrist, Terry Sanderson who is 76-year-old now has accused the actress of causing him severe injuries during a vacation at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. According to the accuser, she collided with him while skiing and left him with injuries such as “broken ribs, and permanent traumatic brain injury,” and even robbed him of the plain joys of life.

He also claimed that Paltrow exhibited a really casual attitude towards the whole accident and kept on skiing with her entourage.

Updates on the same, as reported by New York Post, confirm that Paltrow’s lawyer, Steve Owens, also came back swinging, counter-suing Sanderson for slamming wrong allegations and violating moral grounds. He claimed that his client is “obsessed” with the case and affirms that these are allegations of no merit and great offense. The lawyer also accused him of causing her a full-body hit that left the actress with minor injuries because of which she could not ski the next day.
