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 pursuing justice for families affected by neglect, abuse, or medical negligence.
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 medical malpractice defense firm in New Jersey. Her background defending hospitals, physicians, nurses, and nursing homes gives her valuable insight into how healthcare institutions defend serious injury claims, which she now uses to advocate for injured clients.
According to the firm, “Gayle has the experience, judgment, and work ethic needed to lead the 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.”
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 the case, applying her medical negligence experience to help secure the recovery.
As Chair, Halevy will lead cases involving nursing home neglect, abuse, preventable falls, pressure ulcers, medication errors, dehydration, malnutrition, infection, delayed medical care, poor supervision, understaffing, and other forms of mistreatment in long-term care facilities. The firm has more than 40 years of experience and has recovered over $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients in New Jersey and New York.
When a loved one in a nursing home suffers unexplained injuries, repeated falls, untreated wounds, sudden weight loss, or a serious decline in condition, families can seek answers from the firm. Halevy’s appointment strengthens the firm’s commitment to holding negligent nursing homes and healthcare providers accountable. For more information, visit www.dsslaw.com.
