Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. has appointed attorney Gayle Halevy as Chair of its Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice, a move that reinforces the firm's dedication to protecting nursing home residents and pursuing justice for families affected by neglect, abuse, or medical negligence.
Halevy brings more than 17 years of litigation experience to the role, having practiced in New York City for 13 years and later at a medical malpractice defense firm in New Jersey. Her background defending hospitals, physicians, and nursing homes provides her with unique insight into how healthcare institutions defend serious injury claims. She now uses that experience to advocate for injured clients and their families.
Her 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. Halevy also worked 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 C-section due to an anesthesia overdose.
The firm stated, 'Gayle has the experience, judgment, and work ethic needed to lead Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C.'s Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice. 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.'
As Chair, Halevy will lead cases involving nursing home neglect, abuse, preventable falls, pressure ulcers, medication errors, dehydration, malnutrition, infections, delayed medical care, and understaffing. The firm has over 40 years of experience and has recovered more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients in New Jersey and New York.
This appointment underscores the firm's commitment to holding negligent nursing homes and healthcare providers accountable while helping families understand their rights after serious injury or neglect.
