False Claims Act - Remedy for being put in a tough position by an employer.
| Posted on August 24, 2013 at 8:00 PM |
The False Claims Act, passed in 1863 to combat rampant fraud
committed by government-contracted individuals and companies, is today
the federal government’s most powerful tool in fighting fraud, waste,
and other wrongdoing. Every year this type of fraud amounts to billions
of dollars in lost taxpayer money. The FCA’s qui tam “whistleblower” provision,
which allows people not affiliated with the U.S. government to file
lawsuits on behalf of the government when they witness fraud, gross
waste, mismanagement, abuse of power, and other wrongdoing representing a
substantial financial loss or threat to public health and safety. Because whistleblowers take giant personal risks when they choose to
expose fraud, often facing demotion, termination of job, and other forms
of retaliation, the FCA awards plaintiffs who file lawsuits on behalf
of the government. They may collect 15-30 percent of the recovery. The most common type of whistleblower lawsuit involves defrauding the
U.S. government by overcharging for goods and services. Many whistleblower protections have been
strengthened under the FCA and other laws, such as those governing
securities fraud under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and
tax fraud under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If you have any questions regarding these type of claims or a particular circumstance you are in give me a call (423) 265-8804. |

Bail bonds are simply a way to make the bail bondsman, who frequently contribute to the campaigns of judges and sheriff's, and the counties money. The federal system stopped accepting money years ago. Most federal defendants are released simply with bond restrictions but without having to put up any money. If it works at the federal level it would work at the state level...and it would probably solve the overcrowding problems most local jails have. A bail bonds attorney can help us a lot also.

Lawsuit loans are the non-recourse sale of a portion of a plaintiff's future settlement proceeds in exchange for an immediate cash advance. Personal injury and worker compensation claims can take many years to be resolved. A lawsuit loan can provide a feasible financial lifeline to support your case and living expenses during this difficult period.
