Potts Law Firm Files Lawsuit Against FedEx Due to Sleeping Driver

Potts Law Firm filed suit in Harris County, Texas district court on behalf of James Kirksey against FedEx Express and driver Kamren Jonnie Provost following a November 13, 2025 collision. The FedEx truck struck the rear of Kirksey's vehicle on Highway 249 in Harris County, and the driver told police officers at the scene that he was tired and had briefly fallen asleep before the impact.

The lawsuit alleges the FedEx driver failed to control his vehicle speed and that the collision caused Kirksey to suffer serious and disabling injuries requiring substantial medical treatment. The case, titled James Kirksey v. Kamren Jonnie Provost and Federal Express Corporation D/B/A FedEx Express (Case No. 2026-62522), is pending in the 215th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. Potts Law Firm's managing partner Derek Potts stated that companies operating commercial vehicles have a duty to ensure drivers are not impaired by fatigue and emphasized the grave consequences of operator error in such collisions.
