Why should I call a Georgia whistleblower attorney?

There are many federal and state laws that provide whistleblower protections and rewards. The most important are the state and federal False Claims Acts.

The False Claims Act is a whistleblower law that rewards private citizens who blow the whistle on individuals and entities that knowingly submit false or fraudulent claims for payment to the government. The most common examples of good whistleblower cases include healthcare fraud, Medicare fraud, Medicaid fraud, and all other types of billing fraud against any federally-funded contract or program.

Like many whistleblower protection laws, the False Claims Act has whistleblower anti-retaliation provisions that create strong whistleblower rights.

Whistleblower anti-retaliation provisions protect you against whistleblower retaliation. Whistleblower retaliation occurs when your employer fires you or subjects you to any discrimination or harassment after you blow the whistle or oppose government fraud.

Whistleblower cases are always complex. Whistleblower cases always require a detailed analysis.

There are many whistleblower laws that could apply to your case. As a result, you should always speak with an experienced whistleblower attorney if you think you may have a good case.

For example, if the government recovers $100 million, you would be eligible to receive a whistleblower reward that ranges between $15 and $30 million. Government fraud whistleblowers have received whistleblower rewards totaling more than $2.2 billion.

To receive a reward, you must follow strict rules and legal procedures. As a result, you should always consult a whistleblower law firm to determine if your case qualifies for a whistleblower reward.

This means that once you blow the whistle, you cannot be discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, or in any other manner discriminated against in the terms and conditions of your employment.

If your employer engages in whistleblower retaliation, you can file a private lawsuit. In that lawsuit you can recover:

• Reinstatement of your job
• Two times your lost wages
• Compensation for emotional injuries and damage to your reputation
• Attorneys' fees and litigation costs

Whistleblower lawsuits are more complex because they are governed by a much stricter set of procedural rules than other legal lawsuits.  For example, here are five whistleblower procedures that must be followed in every False Claims Act case:

1. A whistleblower lawsuit must be filed by an attorney.
2. A whistleblower lawsuit must be filed under seal.
3. A whistleblower lawsuit must be served on the Attorney General of the United States.
4. A whistleblower lawsuit must be supported by a comprehensive disclosure memorandum served only on the government, detailing substantially all the evidence in the whistleblower's possession.
5. A whistleblower lawsuit must remain on a secret court docket and cannot be disclosed to anyone except the government and your attorney.

These are just a few of the whistleblower policies and procedures you must follow.
