Davis, Saperstein & Salomon Appoints Gayle Halevy as Chair of Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice

Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. announced the appointment of attorney Gayle Halevy, Esq., as Chair of the firm's Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice. The move reinforces the firm's dedication to protecting nursing home 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 both New York and New Jersey. Before joining Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, she spent 13 years in New York City and later four years at a respected medical malpractice defense firm in New Jersey. Her background defending hospitals, physicians, nurses, nursing homes, and other medical facilities provides her with valuable insight into how healthcare institutions defend serious injury claims.

Today, Halevy uses that experience to advocate for injured clients and their families. Her appointment as Chair of the Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice reflects the firm's confidence in her judgment, litigation skills, and ability to guide families through cases involving nursing home negligence, nursing home abuse, and medical negligence that often involve complex records, difficult facts, and life-changing injuries.

"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 the 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. With more than 40 years of experience and over $1 billion recovered in verdicts and settlements, Davis, Saperstein & Salomon helps families investigate nursing home negligence, preserve evidence, work with medical experts, and pursue compensation.
