Qui Tam Claims
Whistleblower cases often involve qui tam claims, where a private citizen acts on behalf of the federal government to file a lawsuit against an entity that has defrauded the government. The qui tam relator — the individual who brings the lawsuit — may be eligible to receive a significant portion of the winnings.
Types of Fraud Against the Government
The Whistleblower Protection Act defines government fraud as the following:
- Violation of law, rule, or regulation
- Gross mismanagement
- Gross waste of funds
- Abuse of authority
- Substantial and specific danger to public health or safety
Government fraud can also be broken down into these categories:
- Medicare/Medicaid fraud
- Defense contractor fraud
- Environmental fraud
- U.S. Postal Service fraud
- Government construction fraud
Morgan & Morgan’s whistleblower attorneys specialize in these nuanced areas, which puts us in a unique position to help combat fraud against the government — and help you get compensation for your contributions.
Types of Employer Retaliation
Whistleblowing holds businesses accountable for illegal practices, which can help protect employees, the general public, and the economy. Unfortunately, employers may attempt to punish you for exposing their crimes. Types of employer retaliation include:
- Demotion
- Reduction of pay or benefits
- Harassment
- Threats or intimidation
Your employer is not legally allowed to retaliate against you for whistleblowing. If you are punished for exposing fraud, corruption, or other wrongdoings, you are protected by several pieces of legislation. Additionally, you may have separate legal claims against this retaliation; if this is the case, Morgan & Morgan can help.
Legal Protections for Whistleblowers
The potential monetary award for being a qui tam relator is one form of incentive for whistleblowers, but it might not outweigh the risk of retaliation. Fortunately, there are laws in place to protect whistleblowers, such as:
