Stavros Floros — a former contestant on the Greek edition of Survivor — is suing the show after losing most of his leg in an on-set spear-fishing accident. The then-21-year-old was filming the show in the Dominican Republic when a tour boat’s propeller struck him, resulting in the partial amputation of his left leg and significant injury to his right ankle. Floros is seeking $100 million in damages.
Floros spent 61 days hospitalized in Miami and underwent multiple surgeries, according to his legal team. New subscribers only. £9.99/mo. after free trial. Plan auto-renews until cancelled.
