Whistle Blower Cases / Qui Tam

When an employee informs government authorities about illegal acts taken by an employer, that employee is acting as a "whistleblower." Whistleblower cases generally involve the reporting of fraudulent bills or false claims against the government, including the reporting of a medical or healthcare provider for Medicare or Medicaid fraud.

Whistleblowing, when it uncovers significant fraud and leads to legal action against the company, is a protected act. The law both protects employees and may reward them with a percentage of the money recovered by the government. But a claim must be brought in the correct manner. Neff Law Firm, P.A., is experienced at handling Qui Tam cases.

Retaliation for Whistleblowing

If an employer retaliates against the whistleblower by sanctioning them in some way, or firing them, the employee can sue. The whistleblower can recover financial damages caused by the employer's retaliatory discharge or wrongful termination in addition to his or her attorney's fees. If you believe your company retaliated against you, the Neff Law Firm, P.A., is ready to help you pursue your legal options.

As an employee, you do have rights. You do not have to face workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, or illegal violations alone. Let an employment lawyer of the Neff Law Firm, P.A., protect your rights.
