A Quick Overview Of Qui Tam Whistleblower Law

A qui tam lawsuit is the type of legal action that an individual can file on behalf of the government. These lawsuits are governed by federal and State law. They provide incentives and protections for those people who blow the whistle on corrupt action, in these ways:

• Whistleblowers are entitled to a portion of the funds recovered in a settlement or judgment.
• Whistleblowers have protections against retaliation, such as firing and demotion, that result from their reporting fraudulent acts.

The reason for the Federal False Claims Act and the New York False Claims Act is to uncover the damaging, wasteful theft of public funds by companies who believe they can’t be caught. These companies often take these chances with the expectation that all their employees will fall in line.

A qui tam lawsuit can be pursued for many types of fraud, such as:

• Health care fraud
• Cybersecurity fraud
• Defense contractor fraud
• Tax fraud
• Environmental regulation

Any time public funds are billed as part of fraudulent actions, such as double billing to outright lies on company tax returns, U.S. taxpayers are the victim. But we can help you put a stop to it.
