Philadelphia Whistleblower & Qui Tam Matters

Home/Philadelphia Law Office/Philadelphia Whistleblower & Qui Tam Matters

Experienced Attorneys Serving Pennsylvania

Fraud on the government bilks taxpayers out of billions of dollars every year and undermines public programs and essential services. The False Claims Act (“FCA”) offers a way for those who have knowledge of fraud to step forward and help reclaim stolen funds. Our Philadelphia whistleblower lawyers represent clients in qui tam actions, guiding them through the legal process while safeguarding their rights.

Understanding the False Claims Act and Qui Tam Litigation

The FCA is a federal statute that allows private citizens, or “relators,” to bring suit on behalf of the government against individuals or entities that are defrauding federal programs. Qui tam suits are an essential mechanism for fighting fraud, especially in sectors such as healthcare, defense contracting, and finance.

One of the most powerful aspects of the FCA is the monetary incentive provided to whistleblowers. Successful qui tam relators are entitled to a percentage of the government’s recovery, typically ranging from 15% to 30%. Considering that FCA judgments and settlements frequently result in multimillion-dollar recoveries, potential monetary rewards for the whistleblowers can be very attractive.

In order to encourage whistleblowers to come forward, the FCA also includes anti-retaliation provisions, which safeguard individuals from wrongful termination, demotion, harassment, or other types of workplace retaliation. These provisions ensure that individuals who report fraud are not exposed to professional or financial harm.

Notable Achievements in False Claims Act Litigation

Teva Pharmaceuticals Settlement: $54 million settlement for violating the FCA and Anti-Kickback Statute.
