A Father’s Fight for Justice: Dan Hartman’s Case Heads to the Ontario Court of Appeal

On Monday, January 26, 2026, a case with profound implications for Canadian families will be heard at the Ontario Court of Appeal.

Dan Hartman is seeking justice for his son, Sean Hartman, who was just 17 years old when he died suddenly after receiving a Pfizer COVID-19 injection required to continue playing organized hockey.

Sean took one shot. Shortly afterward, he was found dead in his bedroom.

While governments insist the pandemic is behind us, for the Hartman family—and many others—the consequences are permanent. Their lives were changed forever, and the questions surrounding Sean’s death remain unanswered.

Seeking Accountability

Dan Hartman’s appeal challenges the legal barriers that prevent families from pursuing accountability when serious injury or death follows pharmaceutical interventions promoted and mandated by public authorities.

This case is not just about one family. It raises broader questions about:

  • Access to justice

  • Government liability

  • Corporate accountability

  • Transparency in public health policy

The outcome could have far-reaching implications for other Canadian families who allege harm and have been denied their day in court.

Public Access Matters

The hearing will be livestreamed, and public visibility is critical. Court transparency depends on public engagement, and the justice system needs to know that Canadians are watching.

Register to Watch the Hearing:

Showing up—virtually or otherwise—sends a clear message that families deserve answers, and accountability does not expire when a crisis is declared over.
