According to the lawsuit obtained by KUTV, Sanderson had suffered a “closed brain injury,” leaving him with a concussion and four broken ribs. The lawsuit further claimed that instead of staying to help, “Paltrow got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured,” describing the incident as a “hit-and-run ski crash.”
“My ribs were really sore, and my brain felt like I’d been injected with Novocaine, It was just numb, nothing was making sense.” Sandersaon said to The Washington Post.

The doctor also claimed the instructor who accompanied the actress, filed a false report alleging Paltrow did not cause the crash. However, a spokesperson for Paltrow tells People that this lawsuit is completely without merit and anyone who reads the facts will realise that.
