‘Survivor Greece’ injured contestant sues for $100m over losing leg while filming

“Survivor Greece” star Stavros Floros has filed a lawsuit against producers of the reality television show, seeking more than $100 million in damages after an accident during filming resulted in the amputation of his left leg above the knee.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Floros, who appeared on the Greek version of the popular reality series, was filming on May 11, 2026, when he was struck by the propeller of a tour boat while spearfishing for food. Floros alleges in the lawsuit that the show’s format required contestants to spearfish in open water and that the area where filming took place was heavily trafficked by tourist boats.

He claims producers failed to implement adequate safety measures, including safety boats, protected swimming or diving zones and sufficient warning markers for vessels operating in the area. Floros further alleges that there had been previous close calls and even a death in the same waters before his accident.

According to the lawsuit, the impact severed Floros’ left leg above the knee, with his leg lost in the ocean following the incident. Floros said only a “tourniquet applied by a stranger aboard the offending tourist boat kept him alive.”

He was subsequently transported to a hospital in Miami, where he underwent multiple surgeries during a 61-day hospital stay. Floros is seeking more than $100 million in damages from the show’s producers over the accident and the injuries he sustained.
