Reality Star Loses Leg, Sues 'Survivor' Producers for $100M
3 Sep
Summary
- Reality star's leg was severed above the knee in a production accident.
- He is suing producers for over $100 million in damages.
- The accident occurred while spearfishing for food in open water.
A former contestant on 'Survivor Greece,' Stavros Floros, has initiated a lawsuit against the show's producers, seeking over $100 million in damages. The legal action stems from a severe accident that occurred on May 11, 2026, during the production of the reality series.
Floros claims his left leg was severed above the knee when he was struck by a tour boat propeller while spearfishing for sustenance in open water. He asserts that the show's format mandated such activities in potentially hazardous areas frequented by tourist vessels.
According to court documents, Floros alleges that the production lacked essential safety precautions, including safety boats and warning markers, despite previous dangerous incidents in the same waters. His leg was lost at sea, and his survival was attributed to a stranger's quick application of a tourniquet. He endured a 61-day hospitalization in a Miami hospital, undergoing numerous surgeries.
