State judge Kent Holmberg said he'll rule at a later date. Paltrow said in a counter claim that Sanderson was actually the one who plowed into her from behind and that he is trying to exploit her celebrity and wealth. Sanderson's lawsuit seeks $3.1 million in damages, but he denies he's suing because Paltrow is a celebrity. He has said previously that it took him nearly three years to file a lawsuit because he ran into problems with previous attorneys and was dealing with an inability to function properly because of the concussion. Paltrow, known for "Shakespeare in Love," the "Iron Man" movies and her lifestyle company named goop, said her injuries were minor and that she is seeking "symbolic damages" of $1 plus costs for her lawyers' fees. She said Sanderson made a "meritless claim."
