Don Hollimon filed the civil lawsuit in Sedgwick County District Court last week. Hollimon worked for Cox communications and was shocked when he climbed a Westar pole to service a Cox line.
In the lawsuit, Hollimon claims he suffered mental anguish, loss of time, medical expenses and permanent disfigurement among others. He is suing for $75,000.
A civil discovery hearing is scheduled for August 30th.
