Matern Law Group, PC wants to help you get justice. We will work tirelessly to understand your unique situation and find the best path to a fair settlement.
The False Claims Act (FCA), also called the “Lincoln Law”, is a federal law that imposes liability on persons and companies (typically federal contractors) who defraud governmental programs. It is the federal Government’s primary litigation tool in combating fraud against the Government.
How does the False Claims Act work for whistleblowers?
Whistleblowers who bring successful “qui tam” cases are entitled to rewards of 15 percent to 30 percent of the government’s recovery.
Whistleblowers who file a qui tam lawsuit are protected from employer retaliation, including being discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed and discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment. Those who investigate and provide testimony and assistance in a False Claims Act case also are protected.
If workplace retaliation occurs, employees are entitled to “all relief necessary to make the employee whole,” including reinstatement with seniority, double back pay, interest on back pay, compensation for discriminatory treatment, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs.
Whistleblowers are allowed to remain as parties in the qui tam lawsuits the government joins.
If you’re a whistleblower that needs protection due to reporting fraud or false claims under the False Claims Act, you need an attorney now.
We are committed to obtaining justice for you. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional legal services to our clients.
