Qui Tam Whistleblower Law Firm - James Hoyer Newcomer Smiljanich & Yanchunis

Basic Workings of Whistleblower Complaints

If you have specific evidence a company is defrauding the government you can file a legal action in the government's name. The whistleblower receives a percentage of any money the government recovers. This is done under the qui tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act. The whistleblower (known as a qui tam relator) files a lawsuit. The U.S. Department of Justice has 60 days to investigate the claim and decide whether it will join in the legal action. If the government joins the lawsuit, the whistleblower can receive between 15 and 25 percent of the recovery depending on the value of the information provided. Similar laws exist in Florida and other states.
