Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. has appointed attorney Gayle Halevy as Chair of its Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice, a move that underscores the firm's commitment to holding long-term care facilities accountable for resident harm. The announcement comes amid increasing scrutiny of nursing home conditions nationwide, with advocates pushing for stronger protections against neglect and abuse.
Halevy brings more than 17 years of litigation experience to the role, including significant work in both New York and New Jersey. Before joining Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, she spent 13 years practicing law in New York City and later worked for four years at a medical malpractice defense firm in New Jersey. Her background defending hospitals, physicians, and nursing homes gives her unique insight into how healthcare institutions defend against serious injury claims, a perspective she now uses to advocate for injured clients and their families.
“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. 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.
As Chair, Halevy will lead the firm in cases involving nursing home neglect, abuse, preventable falls, pressure ulcers, medication errors, dehydration, malnutrition, infection, and understaffing. These issues affect vulnerable residents in long-term care facilities, and the firm aims to help families investigate incidents, preserve evidence, and pursue compensation.
“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,” the firm noted. With over 40 years of experience and more than $1 billion recovered in verdicts and settlements, Davis, Saperstein & Salomon has helped over 40,000 families in New Jersey and New York.
Halevy’s appointment strengthens the firm’s continued commitment to holding negligent nursing homes and healthcare providers accountable. For more information about nursing home negligence cases, visit https://www.dsslaw.com.
