A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most devastating injuries a person can suffer. Even a ‘mild’ concussion can cause weeks or months of debilitating symptoms, while severe TBIs can result in permanent disability, cognitive impairment, personality changes, and the need for lifelong care. At Shindler & Shindler, our Rockford and McHenry County brain injury lawyers have the experience, resources, and compassion to pursue full and fair compensation for TBI victims and their families throughout Algonquin, Cook County, and the greater Chicagoland area.
Keith Shindler and Robert Shindler are personally involved in every brain injury case we handle. We understand that TBI cases are among the most complex in personal injury law—and we fight relentlessly to make sure our clients receive the lifetime care and financial support they need.
Brain injuries are often invisible. Insurance companies routinely undervalue TBI claims. Shindler & Shindler works with leading neurologists and life care planners to document the true long-term impact of your injury.
Our McHenry County TBI attorneys represent victims injured in a wide range of accidents, including:
The consequences of a brain injury often extend far beyond the initial recovery period. TBI survivors in McHenry County and Rockford frequently experience:
Q: How do I know if I have a traumatic brain injury after an accident in Rockford?
A: Symptoms of TBI can include headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, sensitivity to light or noise, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. Many TBI symptoms are delayed and may not appear immediately after an accident. Always seek medical attention after any blow to the head, even if you feel fine initially.
Q: How is a brain injury claim valued in Illinois?
A: TBI claims are highly individualized. Our McHenry County brain injury lawyers work with neuropsychologists, life care planners, and economic experts to calculate the full lifetime cost of your injury—including future medical care, lost earning capacity, and the impact on your quality of life.
Q: How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit in Illinois?
A: Illinois’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including TBI cases, is generally two years from the date of the accident. Do not wait to contact an attorney—evidence is time-sensitive.

When I first met Robert to talk about a case, the first words to me were, “We won’t talk about money yet, let me tell you first what I can do for you.” Honestly the best lawyer I’ve come across. As a lawyer and as a person.

Mr. Shindler’s hard work and dedication allowed me to not have so much anxiety throughout the entire court process. He is reliable, honest and trustworthy. Someone you can count on, indefinitely.

I met Rob back in 2021 and he is an amazing person! What distinguishes him is that he treats and cares for his clients as people first, then clients. He takes the time to get to know you and connect with you as a person.
Jorge Moreno
Great experience working with Mr Shindler. Treated me more like an old friend rather than his client. Handled my case exceptionally well and eased my tension every step of the way. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need.
Mike McCall
I was really impressed with this law firm. I spoke with Rob – he really took the time to listen to the full story of my son’s accident. He didn’t dismiss the call within a few minutes like most of the larger law firms that advertise on TV.

There is so much I could say, but Shindler & Shindler is & has been consistently phenomenal. Rob & Keith are good people with big hearts & are incredibly educated/experienced in what they do. They hold themselves to an incredibly high standard & work with passion & integrity. 10/10 recommend.
Amber Davis
I’ve known Rob for over 20 years, and during that time, I’ve watched him and his brother Keith help countless people navigate their challenges. Referring someone to a professional is always a big deal, but I’ve never hesitated to send my family and friends to these two.
Peter N
I was in an auto accident and felt like nobody was listening to my concerns. When Rob got recommended to me, I was expecting another half-hearted look at my case and was nervous about going. The entire first meeting, I had felt like I was meeting with an old friend.
Camren McQuitter
From the start, Rob and Keith demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine dedication to my case. They took the time to explain every detail clearly, ensuring I fully understood each step, which gave me great confidence throughout the process. What truly stood out was their unwavering commitment to my success.
Jae Nev
Rob was an amazing person to work with. In my time of emotional and physical need, he made me feel safe, and heard. He has a great sense of humor which put my mind at ease and helped me through this. He listened and cared what I had to say.
