Slater Slater Schulman Leading 400+ Northwell Hidden Camera Cases

Choosing the right law firm is crucial when pursuing a sensitive, large‑scale case. Slater Slater Schulman LLP is at the forefront of the Northwell hidden camera litigation, representing hundreds of victims. This post highlights our firm’s role, why our attorneys are uniquely positioned to handle these cases and what that means for survivors seeking justice.

What happened

On September 25, 2025, Slater Slater Schulman LLP announced that it had filed multiple civil complaints against Northwell Health on behalf of more than 400 victims. The complaints allege that Northwell’s negligence enabled a sleep technician to record patients and visitors for nearly two years at its Great Neck facilities. The suits detail how the employee used false smoke detectors to conceal cameras and how Northwell failed to detect or prevent the surveillance. Our press release also criticizes the light criminal sentence, calling it “a complete miscarriage of justice” and emphasizing that civil courts are the only path to meaningful accountability. Slater Slater Schulman notes that Northwell discovered the surveillance in April 2024 but waited over a year to notify patients.

What it means for patients
