Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. has appointed attorney Gayle Halevy, Esq., as Chair of the firm's Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice, a move that reinforces the firm's dedication to protecting nursing home residents and helping families pursue justice after serious injuries caused by neglect, abuse, or medical negligence. The appointment, announced July 24, 2026, brings Halevy's more than 17 years of litigation experience to a leadership role overseeing cases involving preventable harm in long-term care facilities.
Halevy's background includes 13 years practicing law in New York City and four years at a respected medical malpractice defense firm in New Jersey. Her experience defending hospitals, physicians, nurses, nursing homes, and other medical facilities provides her with unique insight into how healthcare institutions defend against serious injury claims. She now applies that knowledge to advocate for injured clients and their families, guiding them through complex cases involving nursing home negligence, nursing home abuse, and medical negligence.
"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 several 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. Halevy played a key role in that case, applying her medical negligence experience to help secure the recovery.
As Chair, Halevy will lead the firm in 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 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. It offers free consultations and maintains offices throughout New Jersey and New York City. For more information, visit www.dsslaw.com.
When a loved one in a nursing home suffers unexplained injuries, repeated falls, untreated wounds, sudden weight loss, infections, abuse, neglect, or a serious decline in condition, families deserve answers. Halevy's appointment strengthens the firm's commitment to holding negligent nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and healthcare providers accountable while helping families understand their rights after serious injury, abuse, or neglect.
