As a result of his experience, Stavros is requesting compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $100 million, including for past and future medical expenses, as well as for “past and future pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life.”
E! News has reached out to reps for the defendants AcunMedya and Skai TV for comment on the allegations in the lawsuit but has not yet heard back.
Following the May incident, AcunMedya spoke out on the “serious accident” to “clarify the exact circumstances under which the incident occurred.”
At the time, the company said in a statement, per the Toronto Sun, that Floros was “diving without a surface marker buoy in an area frequented by tourist vessels” when a boat “accidentally struck him.”
Amid the incident, AcunMedya said the company had a swift response.
“From the very first moment, there was an immediate response to provide assistance and safely transport the injured contestant,” the statement continued, “while the competent port authorities are investigating the causes of the incident in order to fully determine the circumstances.”
