Do I Need a False Claims Act Lawyer?

When you file a False Claims Act action, the government can intervene and take over the case. The False Claims Act (FCA) is a federal legislation that empowers individual citizens to sue businesses that make false claims for payment to the federal government. The act was passed in 1863 to help safeguard the military against corruption. This is a one-of-a-kind provision that permits whistleblowers to sue the government on their behalf and get a portion of the settlement or judgment.

The United States government is obligated to pay a portion of the settlement or verdict to the whistleblower. If you believe your company or healthcare provider has made fraudulent claims for payment, please call The Whistleblower Advocates Philadelphia, PA. We have helped several whistleblowers receive remuneration for filing False Claims Act lawsuits. The vast majority of cases we handle involve retribution against whistleblowers. If you feel your employer is retaliating against you, please contact us.

What is the False Claims Act exactly?

The False Claims Act was enacted during the American Civil War to discourage fraud and corruption. It is a federal statute that allows private individuals to file lawsuits in federal court under certain conditions. Under the False Claims Act, individuals can sue organizations that engaged in deceptive or fraudulent activities. The False Claims Act gives you two options for filing a claim: 2) qui tam A whistleblower is someone who makes a complaint on behalf of the government. When a person sues on his or her own behalf, this is known as qui tam litigation. Whistleblowers are more likely to succeed than individuals who file on their own. When a qui tam case is filed, the government must join the lawsuit, which is why it is referred to as a "qui tam" case because it is launched by both the government and the individual. Anyone who has suffered harm as a result of a false or fraudulent claim is covered by the False Claims Act. A false or fraudulent assertion is one that is either false or made with no reasonable basis for believing it to be true.

Two examples are submitting a bill for services that were not performed or claiming that a product was manufactured when it was not. If a company files a false or fraudulent claim to the government on purpose, it may face fraud charges. A corporation may be held accountable for fraud if it fails to disclose a material fact about its products. This is known as a major omission.
