Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. has appointed attorney Gayle Halevy as Chair of the firm's Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice, a move that deepens the firm's focus on protecting residents and pursuing justice for families affected by neglect, abuse, or medical negligence in long-term care facilities. Halevy brings more than 17 years of litigation experience to the role, having practiced in New York City for 13 years and later spending four years at a medical malpractice defense firm in New Jersey. Her background defending hospitals, physicians, nurses, and nursing homes provides her with an insider's perspective on how healthcare institutions defend against serious injury claims.
Halevy now uses that experience to advocate for injured clients and their families. According to the firm, Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. 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." Her appointment follows significant case results, including a $4.25 million jury verdict in Bergen County in 2025 for a plaintiff who suffered a traumatic brain injury and cervical spine damage after a rear-end collision. 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 from an anesthesia overdose during a C-section.
As Chair, Halevy will lead cases involving nursing home neglect, abuse, preventable falls, pressure ulcers, medication errors, dehydration, malnutrition, infections, delayed medical care, understaffing, and other forms of mistreatment. The firm, which has recovered over $1 billion in verdicts and settlements over 40 years, helps families in New Jersey and New York investigate negligence, preserve evidence, work with medical experts, and pursue compensation. For families facing unexplained injuries, repeated falls, untreated wounds, or sudden declines in a loved one's condition, the firm offers free consultations and can be reached at 201-444-4444 or through its website.
