Appellate Court of Illinois

Judgment for plaintiff on a claim for damages pursuant to the Nursing Home Care Act alleging various negligent acts by the defendant is affirmed where: 1) testimony as to defendant's negligence was proper even though defendant admitted to various acts of negligence since the information was relevant beyond the conclusions conceded by defendants; and 2) the fee award was reasonable in light of the contingency fee arrangement.
