Texas False Claims Act Whistlerblower Attorney
The False Claims Act permits a whistleblower to file a qui tam lawsuit against a defendant for defrauding the United States federal government and rewards the whistleblower with a percentage of the damages recovered for the United States.
What is Qui tam?
The term qui tam refers to a Latin phrase, meaning that the person sues on behalf of himself or herself and the United States. False Claims Act lawsuits are filed in secret “Under Seal” to allow the United States to conduct an investigation based on the whistleblower’s information. The False Claims Act rewards successful whistleblowers with between 15-30% of the Government’s recovery.
What kinds of claims can be brought under the FCA?
The False Claims Act allows whistleblowers to expose fraud against the United States. The most common False Claims Act cases involves fraud against federal Government funded health care programs such as a Medicare, Medicaid, Tri-Care, and Department of Labor healthcare programs. Other common False Claims Act frauds include frauds by Government contractors and suppliers and frauds against Government loan or grant programs. The False Claims Act is expansive enough to act as a remedy for just about every scheme to fraudulently extract money from the Government.
