San Diego Attorneys Protecting Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers, or persons who file lawsuits against their employers for fraudulent or wrongful activities, are granted protection by the United States government under the False Claims Act. Qui Tam is a provision of this act that allows a private citizen to file a lawsuit on behalf of the United States against companies that submit false claims to the federal government. At the Kalafer Law Corporation in San Diego, our attorneys represent these brave individuals who stand up to their employers in the name of what is right.

Some examples of whistleblower lawsuits include the following actions carried out by employers:

• Failure to adhere to Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
• Fraudulent accounting practices
• Overtime violations
• Tax Fraud
• Terminations in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The False Claims Act also protects qui tam whistleblowers from retaliation by their employers: whether through wrongful termination or any type of harassment. If an employer is found guilty of retaliation, the employee may be entitled to double back pay, and other monetary damages.
