As a child Attorney Hoffman found that offensive. She vowed to spend her life fighting for those injured and vowed to not let this happen to anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon\u2019s Success Story.\u00a0 A few years ago, Attorney Hoffman received a call about a fellow Hoosier who had been riding on his college fraternity\u2019s float in a school parade. The float driver began to drive faster swerving the car from side to side. Two people were thrown from the float including\u00a0Attorney Hoffman\u2019s client who sustained a fractured skull with brain swelling.\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-589 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joannhoffman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_14591-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_14591-1-300x225\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joannhoffman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_14591-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.joannhoffman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_14591-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.joannhoffman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_14591-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Learning of an accident like that is any mother\u2019s nightmare, but lucky for Brandon, his mother was an experienced nurse.
