Federal False Claim Act

Under the Federal False Claims Act, private citizens who know of people or companies that are defrauding the government may sue on the government's behalf and share in the proceeds of the suit. Citizens who bring these causes of actions are called “qui tam relators” or “whistleblowers”. Since 1986, defrauding corporations have been made to pay billions of dollars into the US Treasury due to the actions of concerned citizens who had personal knowledge of the fraud.

Examples of whistleblower cases include such diverse fraud against the federal government as:

  • Medicare/Medicaid fraud by hospitals and doctors
  • Fraud against the Defense Department by companies in the defense industry
  • Padding expense accounts or substituting substandard materials in government contracts
  • Pharmaceutical companies giving doctors kickbacks or incentives to “push” certain drugs or to prescribe drugs for non-FDA approved uses

If you or someone you know has information regarding this type of fraud, call us at 1-888-JACOBY-1 or e-mail our Whistleblower Attorneys in Southern California for more information about the Federal False Claim Act.

Consultations are strictly confidential and your employer is not allowed to retaliate.
