FCA Whistleblower Attorney – Los Angeles

Home/FCA Whistleblower Attorney – Los Angeles

The False Claims Act (“FCA”) is a vital tool for combating fraud against the government by empowering whistleblowers to expose illegal activities. However, whistleblowers often face retaliation for coming forward. At Miller Shah LLP, we understand the challenges and risks associated with bringing fraudulent acts to light. Our FCA whistleblower attorneys in Los Angeles are dedicated to advocating for whistleblowers and preventing and combatting retaliation.

Types of Retaliation

Retaliation against whistleblowers can take many forms, all of which are illegal under the FCA. Common types of retaliation include:

  • Termination: Wrongful dismissal from employment.
  • Demotion: Unjust reduction in rank or position.
  • Salary Reduction: Unwarranted decrease in wages or benefits.
  • Harassment: Hostile work environment or intimidation tactics.
  • Blacklisting: Preventing future employment opportunities.

These actions can severely impact a whistleblower’s career and personal life, making it essential to understand the protections available under the FCA.

How the FCA Protects Whistleblowers

The FCA includes robust provisions to safeguard whistleblowers from retaliation. Key protections under the FCA include:

  • Anti-Retaliation Provision: Section 3730(h) of the FCA explicitly prohibits employers from retaliating against employees, contractors, or agents for lawful acts done in furtherance of an FCA action.
  • Remedies: The FCA allows whistleblowers to seek remedies such as reinstatement, double back pay, interest on back pay, and compensation for special damages, including litigation costs and attorney fees.
  • Confidentiality: Whistleblowers can file complaints confidentially, and the government often investigates claims without revealing the whistleblower’s identity.

These protections are designed to encourage whistleblowers to come forward without fear of reprisal and ensure they have legal recourse if retaliation occurs.

Steps Whistleblowers Should Take to Protect Themselves

Whistleblowers should take proactive steps to protect themselves from retaliation. These steps include:

  1. Documentation: Keep detailed records of any retaliatory actions.
  2. Report Retaliation: File a retaliation complaint with the appropriate authorities.
  3. Secure Evidence: Preserve any evidence that supports your claim of retaliation.
  4. Legal Counsel: Seek guidance from experienced whistleblower attorneys like those at Miller Shah.
