Advocacy Grounded in Science, Experience, and Results

Juan-Carlos (JC) Andaluz, Esq., is a Personal Injury Attorney specializing in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injury cases. Prior to joining the firm, JC represented patients and insureds against wrongful denials by private health insurance companies and managed-care Medicare and Medicaid organizations. He successfully litigated cases in state and federal court, including a landmark injunction against one of the largest health insurance companies, securing lifesaving surgery for a client whose coverage had been wrongfully denied as “not medically necessary.” JC also fought for individuals with disabilities who had been wrongfully deprived of personal care services and private duty nursing services by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD), holding them accountable and fighting for the rights of those he represented so they could live independently, integrated in the community, and with dignity, as mandated by Olmstead v. L.C., 527 U.S. 581 (1999).

JC’s legal career is deeply informed by his personal experience and a foundation in Neural Science (Neuroscience). He graduated from New York University with a degree in Neural Science and earned his law degree from NSU Shepard Broad College of Law, graduating Summa Cum Laude in December 2021 with a concentration in Health Law. He passed the Florida Bar Examination in July 2022 and was admitted to practice law in New York on September 2025. JC is currently in the process of applying for admission to the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.) Bar.

JC’s dedication to advocacy is rooted in a profoundly personal journey. On December 2, 2014, his mother was the victim of a hit-and-run motor vehicle accident that left her with a severe traumatic brain injury. The insurance company initially refused to cover the lifesaving rehabilitation she needed, forcing JC and his family to bear the full cost of her recovery and treatment. Through relentless advocacy and his expertise in Neural Science, JC helped his mother achieve a remarkable recovery, restoring her independence and dignity. Their journey is chronicled in “Hope for Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors”. Having been personally wronged by insurance malfeasance, JC understands firsthand the challenges faced by those navigating the system, and he brings that insight, empathy, and determination to every case he handles.

Beyond his legal practice, JC provides pro bono services to individuals with disabilities through the NSU Disability Inclusion and Advocacy Law (DIAL) Clinic and has offered legal assistance in Family Law, Elder Law, Guardianship Law, Condominium Law, and Immigration Law. He is particularly passionate about supporting TBI survivors worldwide, helping them navigate recovery and regain hope as he did with his mother.

JC is also a devoted animal lover, sharing his life with seven fur babies: Petito, a teacup chihuahua; Coco, a golden terrier; and five cats — Hades, Apollo, Britney, Athena, and Artemisa. He enjoys rescuing and fostering pets, spending time with his family, and playing video games on PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

JC is also a trained chef, and in his free time he enjoys creating original recipes across Italian, Latin American, Asian, and French cuisines for his mother and friends — he especially loves hosting dinner parties. He enjoys playing chess, reading poetry and literature, and watching science-fiction and horror films and shows.
