Examples of whistleblower cases?

There are many different types of whistleblower cases, but the main kinds of fraud these cases expose include:

Healthcare fraud, including fraud by hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, and others. The number of serious injury examples stemming from these types of cases is quite large since the impacts can often be catastrophic for victims and their families.

Tax fraud can include companies, corporations, or individuals engaged in illegal acts like tax evasion, false income reporting, and more.

Securities or investment fraud involves inducing investors to buy or sell stock on pretenses.

Defense contractor fraud occurs when defense companies overbid on projects, falsify invoices, sell faulty equipment that results in injuries, or provide illegal kickbacks to maximize profits.

There are other types of whistleblower cases involving publicly and privately held businesses. Employees discover and expose financial mismanagement, discrimination, health and safety code violations, or other violations on the part of their employers. We are available to evaluate your case if you think you have a case involving fraud by a company or other entity.

Can my workplace retaliate against me?

Whistleblowing in the workplace is an act of bravery. People who expose highly sensitive organizational secrets can be the target of retribution from their employers. The Federal False Claims Act has a vital “anti-retaliation” provision that relieves individuals who suffer adverse employment action due to whistleblowing.

Other laws protecting whistleblowers include the following:

• the Whistleblower Protection Act,
• the OSHA Whistleblower Protection Program,
• the Dodd-Frank anti-retaliation provisions for SEC whistleblowers,
• and other state and federal laws that prohibit discrimination against whistleblowers.

Can a whistleblower remain anonymous?

Paul N Jones prioritizes and protects the identity of his whistleblower clients, mainly when that concern is essential to the client. Some laws require that whistleblower claims be filed confidentially under seal for some time. However, with the myriad laws governing whistleblower claims and the specific facts and circumstances of a given whistleblower claim, only an experienced attorney can advise you properly on the confidentiality of your claim.
