Connecticut Qui Tam Attorneys

Qui tam litigation is a powerful legal tool that allows individuals to expose fraud committed against government programs. Under the False Claims Act (FCA), private citizens, known as whistleblowers or relators, can bring lawsuits against organizations or individuals who knowingly defraud the government. These cases not only help uncover corruption but also play a critical role in recovering taxpayer dollars and maintaining the integrity of government-funded programs. The Connecticut qui tam attorneys at Miller Shah provide whistleblowers with the legal representation they need to feel empowered and take action confidently. Our dedication to excellence and our collaborative approach propels clients to success without comprising their involvement and understanding. 

The False Claims Act and Whistleblower Protections

The False Claims Act is the foundation of qui tam litigation, offering whistleblowers essential protections and incentives. Since its inception, the FCA has sought to hold those who deceive the government accountable by encouraging individuals with insider knowledge to come forward with financial rewards and legal safeguards. 

Whistleblowers who file qui tam cases may receive a portion of the government’s financial recovery, typically between 15% and 30%, depending on the level of their contribution. Importantly, the FCA also includes provisions that shield whistleblowers from retaliation, such as wrongful termination or workplace harassment. This ensures whistleblowers need not to fear reprisal for coming forward with their allegations. 

Miller Shah is well-versed in the complexities of the False Claims Act and the additional whistleblower protections provided under statutes like the Dodd-Frank Act and related state laws. We work tirelessly to keep our clients fully informed of their rights and supported at every stage of the legal process. 

Types of Qui Tam Claims

A wide range of fraudulent activities fall under the umbrella of qui tam litigation. Common examples include Medicare and Medicaid fraud, false billing or overcharging for government contracts, kickbacks in the healthcare industry, tax fraud, securities violations, and bribery of foreign officials. These cases span across industries, and whistleblowers often possess critical insider knowledge that enables the government to act. 

The team at Miller Shah handles cases involving diverse and complex allegations, including financial fraud, healthcare fraud, and corporate misconduct. Whether your case involves exposing illegal kickbacks, misrepresentation of services, or international violations, our attorneys approach each claim with precision and a commitment to achieving optimal results.
