A Whistleblower law firm handles cases filed under the False Claims Act. Whistleblowers are private individuals who discover and report misconduct, including fraud, illegal price fixing, or tax underpayments, by corporations against the federal government.

Recently, whistleblower law firms have handled cases including a Minnesota case involving alleged fraud by OSHA workers while investigating claims, alleged violations of audit standards by the Boeing corporation, and alleged violations of tax laws by Cardinal Health, a health insurance distributor.

There are many different types of whistleblower cases because whistleblowers report violations of many different kinds of federal laws. Environmental whistleblowers report private misconduct that violates laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. If a company exposes its employees to asbestos, that company has violated the Clean Air Act and a whistleblower can file a claim on the governments behalf. Corporate whistleblowers expose corporate fraud by companies like Enron or Worldcom, including violations against federal tax laws. Pharmaceutical whistleblowers and medical whistleblowers expose fraud against government agencies like Medicaid, or illegal price-fixing.
