Michigan Whistleblower Lawyer

Are you aware of corporate wrongdoing?

In today's society, we unfortunately have many large corporations that conduct themselves with blatant disregard for the law. Deliberate acts of fraud, such as in the case of Ponzi scheme investments, health care fraud or fixing corporate accounting books to hide the truth about financial issues have become known as common problems in corporate America. If you or someone you know is aware of some type of misconduct at a business where you work, Sommer Schwartz's employment law attorneys can assist you in protecting both your job and your company from the high cost of fraud.

A whistleblower is defined as an individual, often an employee, who discloses to an authority figure or to the media information regarding wrongdoing, illegal acts, mismanagement, fraud or other forms of corruption. Corporate wrongdoing can take many forms, including:

• Health care workers who are aware of fraudulent billing practices
• Bookkeepers or accountants who are aware of financial irregularities
• Plant workers who observe blatant health or safety violations
• Insurance fraud observed by insurance adjusters
• Stockbrokers who are aware of illegal trading practices
• Drug representatives who are aware of unapproved marketing of prescription drugs

A whistleblower may require protection from undue pressure or retaliation against them from an employer. Bringing a case against a large corporation can be frightening, but at the same time rewarding for those who know that it is the right thing to do. If a case is made against the company in question, rewards can be obtained through the False Claims Act. Sommers Schwartz will also seek compensation on your behalf when aggressively pursuing a whistleblower claim. Our proficient and dedicated litigation attorneys know exactly what to look for when examining the merits of your case against corrupt business practices.
