Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. has appointed attorney Gayle Halevy, Esq., as Chair of the firm's Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice, according to a July 24 announcement. The move reinforces the firm's commitment to protecting nursing home residents and helping families pursue justice after serious injuries caused by neglect, abuse, or medical negligence.
Halevy brings more than 17 years of litigation experience, including 13 years practicing law in New York City and four years at a respected medical malpractice defense firm in New Jersey. Her background in defending hospitals, physicians, nurses, nursing homes, and other medical facilities gives her valuable insight into how healthcare institutions defend serious injury claims. She now uses that experience to advocate for injured clients and their families.
"Gayle has the experience, judgment, and work ethic needed to lead Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C.'s Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice," the firm stated. "When a facility fails to protect a resident from preventable harm, families deserve answers. Gayle's command of medical negligence issues and her ability to prepare serious injury cases make her exceptionally well suited to lead this important practice."
Halevy's appointment follows significant case results. In 2025, she secured a $4.25 million jury verdict in Bergen County for a plaintiff who suffered a traumatic brain injury and cervical spine damage after a rear-end collision on the Garden State Parkway. She also worked closely with founding partner Samuel L. Davis on an $11.9 million medical malpractice settlement involving a first-time mother who suffered catastrophic injuries during a routine C-section due to an anesthesia overdose.
As Chair, Halevy will lead cases involving nursing home neglect, nursing home abuse, preventable falls, pressure ulcers, bedsores, medication errors, dehydration, malnutrition, infection, delayed medical care, poor supervision, understaffing, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect in long-term care facilities. The firm, with over 40 years of experience and more than $1 billion recovered in verdicts and settlements, helps families investigate negligence, preserve evidence, work with medical experts, and pursue compensation.
"Gayle's appointment strengthens our continued commitment to holding negligent nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and healthcare providers accountable," the firm added. For more information, visit www.dsslaw.com.
