Gwyneth Paltrow's 16-year-old son will testify at her Utah ski crash trial, Paltrow's attorney, Steve Owens, said during opening statements Tuesday.

Paltrow was sued over a 2016 ski crash at Deer Valley Resort in Utah. Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist, accused Paltrow of crashing into him on a beginner slope, causing him to break four ribs and sustain a permanent traumatic brain injury.

Paltrow countersued, alleging Sanderson ran into her and not the other way around. Sanderson's lawyer said Tuesday that the evidence will show he sustained over $3 million in damages. Paltrow is asking the jury to award her just $1.

Sanderson's lawyer said in opening statements that Paltrow was distracted watching her kids ski before the crash happened.

Owens said Paltrow's son, Moses Martin, will testify about going over to his mom after the crash and seeing her lying on the ground. According to Owens, Moses, who was 11 at the time, witnessed his mom get irate with Sanderson after the fact, saying "What the F-word."

Moses said he has never seen his mom like that before, Owens said.

It's unclear what day Moses plans to testify.

According to Owens, the crash happened on the first trip Paltrow took with her future husband Brad Falchuk, and their respective children from their prior relationships.

Paltrow was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin from 2003 to 2016, and they had two children together, daughter Apple, 18, and son Moses, 16.
