Fabio Longo

Fabio Longo is the founder and principal of Longo Lawyers, where he leads a team of about a dozen dedicated litigators. Throughout his career, he has represented people whose lives have been changed by serious injury, professional negligence, and those wrongfully denied the insurance benefits they’re owed. Fabio’s work has earned recognition in two of Canada’s most respected independent legal rankings. He is listed in The Best Lawyers in Canada in Personal Injury Litigation and Insurance Law, a ranking based on peer review. Lexpert also recognizes him, which ranks lawyers through surveys of their peers.

His practice is devoted to the most serious and complex injury and negligence claims. Over many years, he has developed in-depth knowledge of traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe psychological impairment and other catastrophic harm. These cases require a command of the medicine as much as the law. Fabio’s long involvement in catastrophic impairment assessment helps him build cases that stand up to close scrutiny from insurers, assessors and the courts. His cases include duty of care and sexual assault civil litigation.

Counsel Work

Beyond his own clients, Fabio is regularly retained by other personal injury firms as lead counsel on complex files. These firms bring him in when a case calls for focused experience in catastrophic injury and insurance litigation. He also acts for lawyers and their insurers in professional liability (errors and omissions) matters, bringing a litigator’s understanding of injury practice to claims against counsel. Fabio has also acted for the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA) as a proposed intervener before the Court of Appeal for Ontario, on issues important to injured people across the province.

Educator and Lecturer

Fabio is committed to raising the standard of practice for both lawyers and medical professionals. He is a faculty member of the Canadian Society of Medical Evaluators’ Catastrophic Impairment Certification program (C-CAT) and medical legal program, where he has lectured to and instructed thousands of medical experts on conducting medical assessments and in particular, catastrophic impairment assessments. He is regularly invited to lecture and sit on panels for Osgoode Professional Development, OTLA and other professional organizations.

For Fabio, the outcome of a case is only part of the work. He is known for the close, lasting relationships he builds with his clients and for his commitment to getting them the best possible private healthcare and rehabilitation available, so they can focus on overcoming trauma and rebuilding their lives.
