From bustling airport traffic on Mannheim Road to crowded parking garages at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago, Rosemont, Illinois, is a hub of constant activity and with it comes a constant risk of injury. When another person or company’s negligence causes harm, victims often face overwhelming challenges, such as medical treatment, missed work, mounting bills, and uncertainty about what to do next. That’s where SJ Injury Law steps in.
Attorney Keith Shindler and his team have recovered more than $155 million for injury victims across Illinois and Wisconsin. Whether you were hurt in a car crash near the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, suffered a fall in a hotel or retail property, or were injured while working near O’Hare International Airport, we are ready to help you “Claim Your Justice®.
At SJ Injury Law, we represent clients in nearly every type of personal injury matter arising in and around Rosemont, including:
Each case is built around evidence, expert analysis, and a deep understanding of Illinois law. Our attorneys handle every step—from investigation to negotiation and, when necessary, trial.
Rosemont’s unique mix of retail, entertainment, and transportation infrastructure makes it one of the busiest, and most dangerous, villages in Cook County. Heavy traffic from O’Hare International Airport flows through Mannheim Road, River Road, and Balmoral Avenue, creating constant risks for commuters, shuttle buses, and tourists. Parking lots at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago, the Rosemont Entertainment District, and nearby hotels see frequent slip-and-fall accidents due to slick flooring and poor maintenance. Industrial zones west of I-294 also produce a high number of workplace and delivery-vehicle injuries.
Because Rosemont is both a business and entertainment hub, identifying where and how your injury occurred is critical to building a strong legal claim. Our familiarity with the community enables us to quickly locate witnesses, video footage, and police or maintenance records before evidence disappears.
Illinois law provides strong protections for individuals harmed by negligence, but strict deadlines and procedural rules apply.
Understanding which laws apply to your unique case—and how to prove negligence within those frameworks—is essential. Our attorneys handle that complexity for you.
Victims of negligence often suffer life-changing harm. Some of the most frequent injuries we see include broken bones, soft-tissue tears, neck and back trauma, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), burns, lacerations, internal bleeding, and severe psychological distress. Many clients also experience loss of mobility, permanent disability, or chronic pain that affects every aspect of daily life.
We work closely with physicians, orthopedic specialists, neurologists, and rehabilitation experts to fully document these injuries and their long-term effects. Our goal is to make sure your settlement or verdict accounts not only for what you’ve already endured, but for what you will continue to face.
A Rosemont personal injury case begins with a thorough investigation. We obtain police reports, incident logs, photos, security footage, and witness statements. Medical documentation and diagnostic testing form the foundation of your damages claim.
Next, we determine liability—whether it lies with a negligent driver, property owner, employer, contractor, or multiple parties. Once liability is clear, we prepare a comprehensive demand package for the insurance companies. If fair compensation isn’t offered, we file suit in the Cook County Circuit Court – Rolling Meadows Courthouse, where many Rosemont cases are litigated.
Throughout the process, we handle all communication with insurers, ensuring your statements aren’t used against you. Most cases resolve through settlement, but our willingness to go to trial gives us leverage that many firms lack.
Illinois allows injured individuals to recover a wide range of damages, depending on the case:
In rare situations involving reckless or intentional misconduct, courts may award punitive damages to punish egregious behavior. Our firm ensures every available category of recovery is pursued with full supporting evidence.
After an accident, insurance companies often move quickly to limit payouts. Adjusters may downplay injuries, dispute medical treatment, or push for fast, low settlements. Without legal representation, it’s easy to sign away rights or accept far less than your claim’s true value.
An experienced Rosemont injury lawyer ensures that doesn’t happen. We preserve crucial evidence, calculate both short-term and long-term damages, and coordinate with medical and financial experts. We also protect you from manipulative insurance tactics and make sure your claim is filed properly within Illinois’ strict deadlines.
Our preparation begins on day one. We treat every case as if it’s headed for trial, giving us an advantage in negotiations and ensuring that, if necessary, we are ready to present your story before a Cook County jury.
At SJ Injury Law, we measure success by the results we achieve and the lives we restore. Our firm has recovered more than $155 million for clients throughout Illinois and Wisconsin through settlements and verdicts. We prepare every case with the same thoroughness and determination, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
Our attorneys combine deep local knowledge of Rosemont’s roads, courts, and law enforcement agencies with direct, personal service. Clients always work directly with their attorney—not a case manager—so communication is clear and consistent. We are also proud to serve our Spanish-speaking community – Se Habla Español.
Our philosophy is simple but powerful – Let Us Help You Claim Your Justice®!
You have two years from the date of the injury under 735 ILCS 5/13-202. Claims involving public property or employees may have shorter deadlines under the Tort Immunity Act.
Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence system. You can still recover compensation if you were 50 percent or less at fault, though your award is reduced proportionally.
No. Once you hire an attorney, all communication should go through your lawyer. Insurers often ask leading questions designed to reduce claims.
Most cases settle, but we prepare each case as if it will be tried before a jury. This approach often leads to stronger settlements and ensures readiness if a trial becomes necessary.
We work on a contingency-fee basis—you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we win your case.
If you or a loved one has been injured in Rosemont, don’t wait to seek help. Evidence can disappear quickly, and Illinois deadlines are strict. SJ Injury Law will fight for the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
