Los Angeles Whistleblower Lawyer

SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN COMPENSATION

If you have noticed illegal or improper activity in your workplace, then you may be wondering how to report it to the proper authorities. This action of revealing wrongdoing within your organization is known as “blowing the whistle.” To the government and to the authorities, a whistleblower is highly regarded—however, you may face illegal retaliatory actions in your workplace for doing so, such as wrongful termination or discrimination in other forms.

At LNN, our Los Angeles whistleblower attorneys are here to represent you when illegal activity has taken place in your workplace. An employment attorney is ready to help.

HOW DOES WHISTLEBLOWING WORK?

There are many forms of activity that can occur in a workplace that are illegal or improper. The first step is to determine the right agency or organization to report the activity that you have witnessed. For example, if you work for a hospital that has been committing healthcare fraud, this is something that is of great interest to the government. If you have been mistreated due to reporting or threatening to report illegal activity, we can help protect you.

A few examples of protected activity include:

Acting as a witness or participating in an investigation
Refusing to participate in illegal activity
Reporting fraud, workplace injury, or other impropriety
Threatening to report fraud, workplace injury, or other impropriety

Your next step will be to work with our whistleblower attorneys in Los Angeles to protect your rights. We want to fight on your behalf and help you get the results you need and deserve.

How a Lawyer Helps

Our Los Angeles whistleblower attorney will play a crucial role in guiding and representing you throughout the case. They typically involve employees reporting illegal, unethical, unsafe, or fraudulent conduct by an employer, sometimes government entities. After the report, you face the potential for retaliation, such as firing, demotion, harassment, or reduced hours, and having us by your side allows you to protect your rights and your future.

We will evaluate whether your disclosure qualifies as protected whistleblowing activity, such as reporting a reasonable belief of violations of law, rule, regulation, public safety issues, or fraud. After which, we determine which specific laws apply to your situation and industry, and assist with the following:

Strategic guidance on reporting, such as the most appropriate and safest way to blow the whistle, whether through internal company channels or outside agencies, while preserving confidentiality where possible
Document and evidence gathering, including collecting emails, performance reviews, witness statements, and causation timelines, organizing proof of the wrongdoing and subsequent retaliation if applicable
If retaliation occurred or they threaten to take action against you, we can file complaints with administrative agencies, such as the Department of Labor or EEOC
We will seek immediate relief if necessary, such as stays of adverse actions, and pursue claims for remedies, such as reinstatement, back pay, compensatory damages, and legal fees

Whistleblowers have protection under federal and state law, such as the California Whistleblower statutes and the Whistleblower Protection Act, if you are a federal employee, to name a few.

Retaliation Protection

California provides substantial whistleblower protections, among the strongest in the United States. Protections apply to both private- and public-sector employees and often extend far beyond the scope of federal regulations and remedies. The California Labor Code § 1102.5 prohibits employers or anyone acting on their behalf from creating or enforcing rules, practices, or policies preventing you from disclosing suspected violations.

Retaliation for disclosing, or because they believe you disclosed information regarding a reasonable belief of a violation of any state, federal, or local statute. It further prohibits retaliation against employees who refuse to participate in illegal activities. You may make disclosures internally to a supervisor or other person of authority so they may investigate and correct the issue, or externally, like government or law enforcement.

The legislation protects you even if the disclosure is part of your job duties, and regardless of whether they already knew about the issue. That includes shielding you from firing, demotion, harassment, reduced pay or benefits, or any other adverse actions.

Remedies

The potential remedies include reinstatement in your position, back pay, recovery of lost benefits, civil penalties, monetary damages, and legal and attorney fees. Employees must usually file a claim with the Labor Commissioner or pursue court action, initiating the case within the statute of limitations.

Additional Protections

Other protections available to California residents include the Whistleblower Protection Act, which specifically protects state employees. They can report improper governmental activity such as fraud, waste, and abuse of authority. Lastly, you could qualify for shielding under the California False Claims Act.

The legislation protects whistleblowers who report fraud against the state, counties, cities, or other government entities, such as overpayments or fraudulent billing. It allows the reporter to file lawsuits on behalf of the government, with the potential of earning a share of the funds recovered, while protecting them from retaliation. Our knowledgeable whistleblower lawyer in Los Angeles can guide you throughout the process or multiple processes.

More on Employment Law

Why Should I Hire an Employment Lawyer?

Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.

Know the Law & What is Illegal

Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.

Protection From the Defense

Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at LNN are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.

Featured Areas of Practice

Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At LNN, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:

Class Actions
Harassment
Wage & Hour Disputes
Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Wrongful Termination

If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.

Why Hire a Los Angeles Employment Law Attorney

A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.

When to Hire an Attorney

It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.

When employees are discriminated against, harassed, or mistreated, they deserve an advocate. They deserve someone who will fight to protect their rights and hold wrongdoers accountable. At LNN, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys aggressively defend the rights of workers, never resting until justice is served.

Our firm is dedicated to helping those that have suffered at the hands of their employers.

We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment.
