Robert LittleJohn
Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation
B.A. (U.W.O.), LLB (U.W.O.)
“One Accident Can Change Your Life”
Rob has been actively practicing law in the personal injury field for twenty-six years. He started Littlejohn Barristers in 1996 to genuinely assist injured plaintiffs who could not afford to pursue their lawsuits.
Recently, we have obtained a chronic pain award for a 55 year old Honda employee at $3.4 million. In addition to this settlement, our client will continue to receive CPP and LTD benefits to age 65. In 2019 alone, we have handled several CAT claims that have resulted in seven-figure awards.
Rob has extensive trial experience. In 2014, he was awarded the Certified Litigation Specialist designation for this distinguished service. He is one of the few lawyers in the County of Simcoe to merit this award.
For the past sixteen years, Rob has annually selected one to three Simcoe County residents who have suffered misfortune. He has provided financial assistance to these residents in a manner intended to help them start again. Rob has also assisted many charities, too many to name. Recently, he has supported Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre, Joe Carter’s Children Aid Foundation event, Bobby Orr’s Celebrity Golf Classic and the Lend-A-Hand Tournament.

Recent and Key Reported Decisions
Note: Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results and that the amount recovered and other litigation outcomes will vary according to the facts in each individual case.
Through the years, certain insurers have attempted to take advantage of personal injury victims. In court, Rob has fought for the rights of his clients and obtained positive results in a number of different circumstances, including the following:
.Your insurer’s refusal to pay income replacement benefits (IRBs) beyond an alleged two year limitation period: P.V. and Economical Insurance (2020) ONLAT 19-000069/AABS. This is the first IRB decision that gives you the right to sue for IRBs well after a “hard limitation” period has supposedly expired. In this case, P.V. was judicially allowed to pursue his IRB claim four and a half years following his motor vehicle collision. This IRB decision has reversed five previous Court of Appeal decisions, principal among them, Sietzma and Bonnacorso.
