The victim's condition could worsen or he or she could suffer greater bodily injury or even death. Many states have special laws and requirements for reporting abuse in a nursing home setting.

Nursing home abuse attorneys in Illinois may be able to act on the victim's behalf to bring the nursing home operators to justice and recover money damages.
