What Is a Qui Tam Lawsuit?

Any person or persons aware of fraud or corruption related to the fulfillment of a government contract by a private business or publicly held corporation may file a qui tam claim. Qui tam whistleblower laws protect individuals and groups of workers seeking to report their private, corporate, or government employer for committing fraud or corruption on a government contract. Many different forms of qui tam law protect employees, agents, and even contractors from reprisal or retaliation.

The most important set of laws include the:

• Federal False Claims Act: protects whistleblowers when reporting government fraud
• Dodd-Frank Act: protects whistleblowers when reporting misconduct to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act: protects whistleblowers when reporting violations of bank fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, and securities fraud

Whistleblowers may be entitled to a substantial portion of the recovered funds under special provisions of the False Claims Act. These special provisions make it easier for ordinary taxpayers to hire reputable whistleblower attorneys, like ours, at Hennig Kramer Ruiz & Singh, LLP. The idea of rewarding the whistleblower by sharing a portion of the collected proceeds is the fundamental underlying principle of this critical legislation. The U.S. government wants to make it worthwhile for citizens to report these types of fraudulent activities and is willing to provide a financial reward for citizens' efforts to stop fraud against the government.
