The Oscar-winning actress's attorneys questioned the retired optometrist who is suing her over a 2016 ski crash, which he claims left him with broken ribs and severe brain damage. Terry Sanderson, 76, said he was 'living another life' after the collision with Ms Paltrow on a Utah ski slope, which he says left him with broken ribs and severe brain injuries. He is suing Ms Paltrow for $300,000 (£244,000), while she is counter-suing for the nominal amount of $1, claiming Mr Sanderson hit her. Late on Wednesday afternoon, Paltrow's attorneys called Sanderson back to the stand for the second time in the case to cast doubt on his claims of life-altering injuries. One picture, introduced into evidence in the trial yesterday, showed Terry Sanderson skiing Picture albums on Facebook from holdays taken by Terry Sanderson after the 2016 collision While on holiday, Mr Sanderson was also pictured taking part in activities like skiing and cycling Instead of revisiting his medical history or expert testimonies, they asked questions about Sanderson's luxury and adventure travel after the crash. They introduced photos into evidence of Sanderson riding a camel in Morocco, trekking up to Machu Picchu in Peru. While on holiday, he was also pictured taking part in activities like skiing and cycling. He also took a continent-wide loop around Europe with stops in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Belgium. After both sides give closing arguments on Thursday, the jury will likely make their decision later that day or on Friday. The retiree accepted that he had travelled to multiple countries and attended a Cinco de Mayo celebration and rock concert. He claimed that he had travelled he travelled because 'it was part of the healing process' and that he 'was told by several neurologists and cognitive therapists' to return to his routine of travelling, which happened 'since retirement mostly'. He added that the trips had been a struggle for him and that he had been unable to travel by himself. 'Looking back at that time, I was determined to prove I didn't have any mental issues,' he said. Discussing the impact of the case on him, Mr Sanderson said it had been 'very difficult' to sue a celebrity and his life had been 'exposed'. Closing arguments in the televised trial will be presented on Thursday. Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
