Many businesses provide services and perform
work for the federal government. Examples of this are services
provided under government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid
and defense contracting. Normally, companies provide a product
or service and then submit claims to the government agency
for payment. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous businesses overcharge
the government, submit claims for work that was never performed,
or provide defective or inferior products. As a direct result,
taxpayers are defrauded out of hundreds of millions of dollars
annually.
An employee with knowledge of this type of fraud by their
employer may report this conduct to the federal government
and may obtain a portion of the amount recovered by the government
for their services as a “relator.” These whistleblower
cases are known as “qui tam” cases. Individual
employees have literally recovered tens of millions of dollars
themselves by reporting such fraud and participating in the
recovery as a qui tam “relator.”
More than 4,000 “qui tam” suits have been filed
since 1986, when the statute was strengthened to make it easier
and more rewarding for private citizens to sue. The government
has recovered over $6 billion as a result of the suits, of
which over $100 million has been paid to relators/whistleblowers.
We strongly urge you to contact an attorney experienced in
handling claims under the False Claims Act before reporting
such fraud to the government. Dozier Law Group is experienced
in the details of qui tam lawsuits and can help you to obtain
justice.
If you believe that a company is guilty of defrauding the
government and there is independent evidence to support your
belief, call (404) 949-5600 to speak directly with Managing
Principal Brad Dozier, an experienced qui tam attorney, or
. We encourage you not to delay seeking legal representation,
as a financial recovery under the qui tam law could be lost
if another person brings the claim before you do.
