Qui Tam Lawsuit

About Qui Tam Lawsuits

The False Claims Act — also known as the Whistleblower Act or Qui Tam Statute — gives ordinary citizens like yourself the power to sue companies or individuals over financial fraud committed against the government.

Successful claims under the False Claims Act may include fraudulent payment schemes involving federal health care programs, government procurement contracts, grants for small businesses, federally insured mortgages and other federal programs.

Whistleblowers, known as "relators" under the False Claims Act, often face considerable personal risk when reporting financial wrongdoing. To encourage whistleblowers to step forward with allegations of fraud, the government offers sizable rewards to those individuals. Whistleblowers under the False Claims Act may collect 15 to 30 percent of any money recovered in a successful lawsuit.

Among the cases handled by our Qui Tam attorneys:

• Health Care Fraud: The largest penalties issued under the False Claims Act have been in the area of health care fraud by health care providers, patients, insurers, health managed care organizations and medical equipment suppliers. If the fraud results in reimbursement or payments through Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security or a state insurance program, it may fall under the False Claims Act.
• Corporate Fraud: A False Claims Act claim may exist if a company overbills the government for goods or services, misrepresents what services were provided or files false reports.

• Tax Fraud: While nobody likes paying taxes, avoiding those payments is a fraud against the government. Among the acts that entitle whistleblowers to rewards are failing to report income, taking unauthorized deductions, overstating the size of deductions, hiding or omitting assets or property, and under-reporting the value of an estate.
