Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., a New Jersey and New York personal injury law firm, has appointed attorney Gayle Halevy, Esq., as Chair of its Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Practice. The announcement, made July 24, 2026, reinforces the firm's dedication to protecting nursing home residents and assisting families affected 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 defending hospitals, physicians, nurses, nursing homes, and other medical facilities provides her with valuable insight into how healthcare institutions defend serious injury claims. She now uses that experience 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 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 that left the plaintiff asphyxiated for more than three minutes. 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. With more than 40 years of proven 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.
This appointment matters because nursing home abuse and neglect are widespread issues affecting vulnerable elderly residents. According to the firm, families often struggle to identify signs of mistreatment and navigate complex legal processes. Halevy’s leadership ensures that victims have a dedicated advocate with deep understanding of both prosecution and defense tactics. The firm’s track record—including the $11.9 million settlement and $4.25 million verdict—demonstrates its ability to hold facilities accountable, potentially deterring future negligence and improving standards of care across the industry.
