Brian Keith Stubblefield has filed a lawsuit against Farhat Salem Kelani, alleging negligence that resulted in a car accident causing significant injuries. The complaint was lodged on April 4, 2025, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. Stubblefield accuses Kelani of failing to exercise proper care while driving, leading to a collision on October 6, 2023.
According to the petition, Brian Keith Stubblefield was traveling through Harris County when Farhat Salem Kelani allegedly caused an accident resulting in serious bodily harm to Stubblefield. The plaintiff claims that the defendant failed to maintain a proper lookout and did not yield as required by law. "Defendant's negligent, careless and reckless disregard of duty" is cited as the primary cause of the incident. Stubblefield's petition details multiple failures on Kelani's part: from not keeping a safe distance and driving at an excessive speed to neglecting timely application of brakes.
The legal filing asserts that these actions violated Texas traffic laws designed to prevent such accidents. It states that Kelani had a duty "to exercise the degree of care that a person of ordinary prudence would use," which he allegedly breached. This breach purportedly led directly to Stubblefield's injuries and subsequent damages.
Stubblefield seeks monetary compensation for his injuries, which include past and future medical expenses, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of earnings and earning capacity, physical impairment, and property damage. He requests relief exceeding $250,000 but not more than $1 million. Additionally, he asks for pre-judgment interest from the date of injury until judgment is rendered and post-judgment interest at the legal rate.
