Serious burn injuries are among the most painful, costly, and emotionally devastating injuries a person can experience. The road to recovery is often long, expensive, and filled with multiple surgeries, painful skin grafts, and extensive rehabilitation. When a burn injury is caused by someone else’s negligence—whether it’s a defective product, a dangerous property condition, a workplace accident, or a vehicle crash—you deserve full and fair compensation.
The burn injury lawyers at Shindler & Shindler fight for burn victims and their families across Rockford, Algonquin, McHenry County, and the greater Chicago area. Keith and Rob Shindler are personally involved in every case, providing compassionate counsel while aggressively pursuing every dollar you are owed.
The severity of a burn determines the scope of medical treatment required—and thus the value of your legal claim. Our McHenry County burn injury attorneys work with burn specialists and life care planners to document the full scope of your injuries and future medical needs.
Permanent scarring and disfigurement from burn injuries carry significant non-economic damages. Shindler & Shindler ensures these profound losses are fully reflected in your claim.
Q: How is a burn injury claim valued in Illinois?
A: The value of a burn injury claim depends on the severity of the burns, the extent of medical treatment required, whether permanent scarring or disfigurement resulted, the impact on your ability to work, and the pain and suffering you have experienced. Our Rockford burn injury attorneys work with medical and economic experts to build a comprehensive valuation of your claim.
Q: Can I file a workers’ comp claim and a personal injury lawsuit for a workplace burn in McHenry County?
A: Yes, in many cases. Workers’ compensation covers your medical bills and lost wages when your employer is responsible. If a third party—such as an equipment manufacturer, a general contractor, or a chemical supplier—contributed to your burn injury, you may also file a separate personal injury lawsuit to recover pain and suffering and other non-economic damages.
Q: What if a defective product caused my burn injury in Algonquin?
A: Product liability law allows burn victims to pursue compensation directly from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of defective products. Our attorneys investigate the product’s design, manufacturing process, and warning labels to build a strong product liability case.
Whether you were a pedestrian severely harmed by a reckless driver in Chicago or Algonquin, or if you are dealing with the complex aftermath of a fatal accident, the skilled personal injury lawyers at Shindler & Shindler are here to help.

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.
Marisol Canizales
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.
