After appellate attorney Howard J. Bashman appeared in front of a panel of Pennsylvania Superior Court judges with a $55 million verdict against Honda at stake, he quickly jumped on his appellate blog, “How Appealing,” to say how well the arguments went, and to subtly dig the opposing counsel for alleged cell phone use in court.
Bashman wrote the entry confident he’d convinced the panel to affirm the award for his client, a man who was paralyzed during a rollover accident. And those instincts were spot on, as a unanimous three-judge Superior Court panel on Wednesday rejected all the challenges Honda raised in its effort to reverse the verdict.
