Whistleblower Attorney in Jacksonville

A corporation or business entity might commit fraud against the government in many ways. Common offenders include government contractors, pharmaceutical or health care companies, or research foundations — institutions that rely on government money. Typically, they bill for products or services they never provide. You may also have a whistleblower case when you witness things like:

• Workplace safety violations
• Violations of environmental laws
• Medicare or Medicaid fraud
• Food safety violations
• Social Security fraud

If you believe you have cause to file a whistleblower case, you need an experienced Jacksonville attorney. 

Whistleblowers are protected under the federal False Claims Act and, in Florida, under the Florida False Claims Act. The False Claims Act prohibits anyone doing business with the government from doing the following:

• Submitting false or fraudulent claims for payment
• Making false statements of record to a fraudulent claim
• Making a reverse false claim, meaning underreporting an obligation to pay the government or keeping money from a government overpayment
• Conspiring to do any of the above

The False Claims Act allows any private citizen with knowledge of these activities to file a whistleblower claim against the business in court. A whistleblower attorney will help protect your rights and work with you to get your reward. Under the False Claims Act, whistleblowers are entitled to a percentage of the government's recovery.
