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 strengthens the firm's longstanding commitment to protecting nursing home residents and helping families pursue justice after serious injuries caused by neglect, abuse, or medical negligence.
Gayle Halevy brings more than 17 years of litigation experience to the role, including significant work in both New York and New Jersey. Before joining the firm, she practiced law in New York City for 13 years and later spent 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. Today, she uses that experience to advocate for injured clients and their families.
"Gayle has the experience, judgment, and work ethic needed to lead our 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."
Her appointment follows several significant case results that reflect the skill and preparation she brings to serious injury litigation. 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 has 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 what should have been a routine C-section. The case involved an anesthesia overdose that left the plaintiff asphyxiated for more than three minutes. Halevy played a key role in the case, applying her medical negligence experience to help secure the recovery the family deserves.
As Chair of the Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice, 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. With more than 40 years of experience and over $1 billion recovered in verdicts and settlements, the firm helps injury victims and families in New Jersey and New York investigate nursing home negligence and abuse, preserve evidence, work with medical experts, and pursue compensation for the harm caused.
