A Utah doctor has filed a lawsuit accusing Gwyneth Paltrow of seriously injuring him in a 'hit-and-run' crash at a swank Park City ski resort in 2016, and is demanding damages in excess of $3.1 million.

Optometrist Terry Sanderson, 72, says in a complaint that was filed on Tuesday that Paltrow was skiing with an instructor at Deer Valley when she lost control and slammed into him from behind.

'I heard this hysterical scream and instantaneous I got hit in the back,' said Sanderson at a press conference on Tuesday.

Paltrow then proceeded to get up and ski away according to the legal filing, without checking on Sanderson or offering any assistance to the injured man.

Soon after the GOOP guru fled the scene, Sanderson claims that her instructor came over and informed the injured man that the incident was his fault and then also skied off.

Sanderson says in the complaint that neither Paltrow or the instructor alerted ski patrol after abandoning him, and he was left stranded and alone with brain damage and four broken ribs on the side of the mountain.

Reps for Paltrow dismissed the filing as being 'without merit' and said their client expects to be 'vindicated' in the case.

Her lawyers meanwhile have stated that Paltrow was downhill at the time of the crash, meaning that she had the right of way.

It is not just Paltrow who is named in the suit, with Sanderson also seeing damages from the resort and three employees who were with Paltrow.

'This case involves a hit-and-run ski crash at Deer Valley, Utah, where Defendant Gwyneth Paltrow skied out of control and hit the back of Terry Sanderson, another skier, who was downhill, knocking him down hard, knocking him out, and causing a brain injury, four broken ribs and other serious injuries,' states the legal filing.

'Paltrow got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured.'

That is when a ski instructor came over and derided Sanderson claims the filing, despite the fact that he did not see the crash.

'He also failed to send help, as he was obligated to do, and later filed a false report to protect his client, Ms. Paltrow,' states the filing.

'Neither Ms. Paltrow nor Deer Valley lodge personnel notified emergency responders about the injured Dr. Sanderson. They left him at the scene with serious brain injuries caused by Ms. Paltrow.'

The instructor has been identified in the court filing as Eric Christiansen.

Paltrow was also with friends and family as well as two additional Deer Valley employees according to the lawsuit.

She was allegedly rushing down the mountain to grab lunch at the Montage Lodge at Deer Valley according to the complaint.

Paltrow had posted a photo one year prior while at Deer Valley bragging about what a natural athlete she was, writing: '20 years later and I still got it #justlikeridingabike #ididntbreakanything!'

She also gave the resort the ultimate endorsement when she did a Park City & Deer Valley Guide on GOOP.

'Skiing in Utah certainly has its draws: wide-open terrain, more bluebird days than we can count, and some seriously good, consistent powder,' wrote Paltrow.

And she said of Deer Valley: 'What's nice about Deer Valley is there's a little something for everyone, making it a great mountain for families—there are easy cruisers like Bluebell and Lucky Jack, plus some solid steeps like Daly Bowl and Lady Morgan.'

Sanderson meanwhile states in his filing: 'Gwyneth Paltrow knew it was wrong to slam into Dr. Sanderson's back, knocking him down, landing on top of him, knocking him out and then leave the scene of the ski crash she caused, but she did it anyway.'
