At the risk of a flashing red inbox of doom, this is a weird one.
when you’re worth $300m and earn 13m per year why would you go through this process vs someone who apparently sustained a significant brain injury in the incident. They are asking for 300k and surely would settle for significantly less which is peanuts to her, and you would think not worth the negative press
It’s not coming across well , allegedly leaving the accident scene without checking if he was ok, the ridiculous sexual assault claim, their side digging dirt on the family of the other side, shouting abuse at the victim at the scene.
All seems v weird for someone usually highly private. [Post edited 25 Mar 2023 19:54]

She says he skied into her. No idea, I wasnt there but peanuts or not would you accept culpability for something you didn't do? |  |

You most likely wouldn’t need to if you settled out of courrt.
if financially it was peanuts to me I would definitely settle out of court rather than take the stand and attend court for a few days and confess swearing at people, while putting my reputation at risk, even if I thought I was in the right. | |

If it’s not her fault (or she at least believes that), why would she capitulate and hand over cash to someone who she hasn’t wronged? That’d be a quick way for every crank out there to strip all her assets. |  |

Maybe she is making a stand, but her and her team aren’t looking too good out of this so far, and for someone who I always though very private and mostly shunned the limelight, this is a circus. | |

If you settle out of court, isn't there always some stigma attached & after-whispering?
I'd fight my case if I knew I was 100% innocent, unless I was in a place where I felt my mental health couldn't cope with the stress of a court process.
It is a weird one though, as there were witnessess.
I never knew that accidentally skiing into someone could be seen as potentially litigous - guess that's the USA for you. What are the 'rules of the road' when skiing? |  |

A circus it really is. I watched the man's daughter speaking /crying yesterday and it was cringeworthy. America is nuts!! |  |

I think the chap was quite significantly injured brain injury causing personality changes and rib fractures allegedly. You would think it would be easy to establish who was at fault from witnesses or even the injuries sustained. | |

Even so, skiing is inherantly risky, & most people would take out some form of insurance for accident/injury before going out on the slopes.
Maybe GP feels she's just being gone after because of her known wealth. | |

Should be the responsibility of the uphill skier to look out for anyone below them. |  |

Not at the risk of being sued though (imo). This seems to be taking things a bit far. If the slopes are busy all sorts of stuff goes on. Skiing is far from without risk. | |

I agree, just saying that's the etiquette, I believe (I haven't skied for over 25 years!)
Don't know the facts of this, just seen a few clips on the news of GP giving evidence, where she seems to suggest he came between her skis from behind, if true it can't have been her fault. | |

Wasn’t there, haven’t read too much about it but as a passably experienced skier (35 years) the general rule is that if you are uphill and/or run into somebody else, it’s down to you.
The second aspect is that I know Deer Valley well and the nursery slopes are about as gentle as it’s possible to get and very well organised with Marshals etc. How someone can claim the level of injuries he’s claiming is a surprise to me. But I say again, I wasn’t there.
Yes, if you ski, you take out winter sport insurance, especially in America! It does carry risk. I have a suspicion he is on the make. But he might not be. If he is, she’s got every right to defend herself. |  | | |

She was found *not* guilty, and in fact the jury took only two hours to find that the claimant was responsible for the collision. GP was awarded damages, nominal only, $1.
Well done to her, standing up for herself and staying classy. On the way out she spoke to the claimant only to say “I wish you well”, to which he replied “thanks”. | |

Indeed. Very weird OP, this claimant seemed on the make for me right from the start, so no way she should've caved in and paid up. Good for her. |  |

I suspected he might be looking to trouser a few $. She had every right to defend herself and I’m glad she did. | | | |

Because it opens the floodgates to other spurious claims perhaps?
She also flogs wierd stuff for women that sells by the million any one of which is open to spurious claims. Going by her paralysed-looking facial features now that might be her real reason? |  |

I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand your point. The sequence is.
Go skiing in Deer Valley.
Man collides with a famous actress.
Man injured.
Man sees opportunity to make a few dollars out of famous actress one way or the other.
Actress fights her corner.
Actress found innocent.
Claimant told to b#gger off
Pretty simple really. What she does outside this is of no relevance whatsoever. Nor is the expression on her face. | | | |

Surely settling would be what invites further spurious claims?
Fighting it sends out exactly the opposite message to ms. It wasn't about money but principle, again no idea who hit who but any settlement looks like an admissikb of culpability and would I imagine leave her open to further claim if his condition deteriorated. | |
