Before a verdict came down last year awarding nearly $10 million to the family of a woman killed during a scuffle with bikers, the judge handling the case dismissed the bikers’ motorcycle club from the case, saying the plaintiffs failed to show a significant connection between the national club and the members who participated in the fight.

The plaintiffs are now asking the Pennsylvania Superior Court to reverse that decision, and have asked the appeals court to allow a jury determine whether the national club should be liable for the death.
