Birmingham Whistleblower Protection Lawyers

What Is a Whistleblower?

Under certain circumstances, a person who discloses information about violations of the law, unsafe activities, authority abuse, or other public dangers is referred to as a whistleblower. A whistleblower, also known as a relator, could accuse an individual or a business of infringements by relating his or her allegations to a government agency, an authority figure, the news media or even the general public. Very often, whistleblowers are individuals who have information about misconduct or legal violations on the part of their employers. 

How Are Whistleblowers Protected?

To protect whistleblowers against the threat of retaliatory actions from their employers, the government has enacted legislation to protect whistleblowers. If you have reported an illegal act and fear reprisal for your action, you should speak to an whistleblower lawyer in Birmingham from Michel Allen & Sinor.

What Is The False Claims Act?

During the Civil War, Congress passed the False Claims Act to protect persons that were reporting fraudulent contractors that were selling inferior products to the Army. The act included a provision that offered a reward for citizens who were willing to sue the contractor on behalf of the government. This type of lawsuit is referred to as a qui tam lawsuit, based on a Latin phrase which translates to "He who sues on behalf of the King as much as for himself.” 

The False Claims Act is still used today to protect whistleblowers who bring a qui tam lawsuit for fraud against the government.
