False Claims Act & Whistleblower Protection

The False Claims Act is a congressional act under OSHA that protects whistleblowers from being retaliated by their employers. Under OSHA’s whistleblower statutes, your employer cannot take “adverse action” against you for reporting injuries, safety concerns, or other protected activity. The U.S. Justice Department reports that lawsuits filed under the Federal False Claims Act have recovered more than $33 billion between 1986 and 2012. More than $11 billion of those recoveries have resulted from lawsuits filed by whistleblowers acting under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act.

Under employment law, the False Claims Act provides compensation to employees who report their employer’s fraudulent behavior against the federal or state government. This area of law can be unfamiliar to many, so our experienced team at TCB Law is here to guide you through the process. We can walk you through filing a whistleblower claim and work with state and federal authorities to ensure you obtain your deserved compensation.

Filing Whistleblower Claims

In order to bring a whistleblower claim, You must first engage in “protected activity,” which is an attempt to direct attention to fraud or illegal activity. If an employer takes an adverse action against you because you have engaged in protected activity, you may have the right to file a claim.
