Trucking injury lead partner, Matt Broughton, attorney and licensed CDL driver
Gentry Locke’s truck accident team is led by Matt Broughton, an attorney who cares so passionately about helping his clients that he studied for and obtained his commercial driver’s license (CDL) class A. Having this license means Matt has an in-depth understanding of not only the operation of a tractor and trailer, but also the crucial pre-trip inspection – including knowing how to identify all of the key parts of a tractor and trailer ranging from the complex air brake system to the coupling devices between the tractor and the trailer.
