Megan Johnston

Experienced car accident lawyer in the GTA

Megan first joined Smitiuch Injury Law as a summer student in 2012, returned as an articling student, and was hired to the firm as an Associate Lawyer following her call to the bar. Her practice is exclusively dedicated to personal injury and wrongful death cases, including motor vehicle accidents, occupiers’ liability, disability benefits claims and product liability.

Megan has acted as counsel before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Financial Services Commission of Ontario.

Megan obtained her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Windsor. While in law school, she gained invaluable experience through her work at the local Community Legal Aid Clinic and her study of law abroad for a summer at Monash University in Prato, Italy.

When Megan is not practicing law, she enjoys baking and spending time with her husband and three children.
