Hagens Berman – among the most successful plaintiff-side firms in the world – is a qui tam law firm prosecuting cases on behalf of whistleblowers under the False Claims Act.

The False Claims Act authorizes whistleblowers to sue companies and individuals that defraud the government. To file under the False Claims Act, whistleblowers must be represented by an attorney. Hagens Berman is a law firm you can trust to prosecute your whistleblower case, protect your interests and maximize your recovery.

Some of our most impactful whistleblower cases under the False Claims Act include representing:

  • The first Countrywide and Bank of America whistleblower challenging widespread mortgage fraud. Our client received a multimillion-dollar award from the more than $1 billion-dollar settlement.
  • Another Bank of America whistleblower who exposed fraud in the Home Affordable Mortgage Program. Our client earned a large award from the same billion-dollar settlement.
  • An esteemed physician and research scientist challenging unlawful conduct at Amgen. Our client received a multimillion-dollar award.
  • A whistleblower who exposed fraud at US WorldMeds in a lawsuit challenging off-label promotion and unlawful kickbacks and was awarded for doing so.
  • A Medtronic whistleblower challenging off-label promotion of medical devices. 
  • An expert physician and scientist at Pfizer who challenged off-label promotion and marketing of pharmaceutical products.
  • A health care finance expert in a complex case challenging Medicare fraud at several hospitals in the Northeast, a challenge that resulted in a multimillion-dollar award.
  • Two whistleblowers challenging violation of anti-kickback laws and false claims at the Center for Diagnostic Imaging. Our firm recovered additional funds for the government and awards for our clients.​​​​​
  • A former regional vice president from Sound Inpatient Physicians in a health care fraud case challenging widespread “upcoding.” This case resulted in a large settlement and award to our client.  

Billions of dollars of U.S. government funds are paid each year to businesses and others who submit false and fraudulent claims for payment. Detection, investigation, and prosecution of this fraud is often impossible without the help of whistleblowers.
