As a whistleblower, you may be eligible to recover compensation for bringing acts of fraud to light. The False Claims Act protects whistleblowers in the event that the qui tam lawsuits they may file result in harassment, mistreatment, or retaliation from their employers. Whistleblowers have the legal right to bring fraud to the government’s attention and, in doing so, may be able to receive compensation for attorneys’ fees, decreased work hours, back pay, and other damages resulting from the employer’s attempt to fight back.
A qui tam lawsuit may be filed if an individual or company is believed to have purposefully overcharged the government or billed the government for items or services it never received. Additionally, if a company is believed to have made false, misleading, or inaccurate statements to avoid paying debts or to receive money to which they are not entitled, the company will be required to pay back this money to the government if the qui tam lawsuit is successful.
Consider working with an Iowa whistleblower lawyer if you believe you have evidence or information of your employer or another entity defrauding the government. If a qui tam lawsuit is successful, whistleblowers are eligible to recover anywhere from 15 to 30 percent of the government’s total recovery. Most qui tam lawsuits involve fraud against Medicare, pharmaceutical companies, or the Department of Defense
