THE COST OF WHISTLEBLOWER RETALIATION

Whistleblower retaliation comes in many forms. It may involve lighter forms of retaliation, like intimidation tactics or unfavorable performance reviews, or it may involve more serious consequences, such as threats or termination.

In the most extreme situations, whistleblowers find themselves the victims of blacklisting. This is when an employer seeks revenge by maligning you across a field or industry, making it impossible for you to secure future employment. Blacklisting destroys careers and has a devastating financial impact.

When a whistleblower is courageous enough to come forward and report an employer’s wrongdoing, these types of ruinous consequences are unacceptable. Fortunately, the law agrees. When whistleblower retaliation hurts your career prospects, it’s crucial to know your rights and take action with the help of our Tampa attorneys.

HOW A LAWYER CAN HELP IN A WHISTLEBLOWER RETALIATION CASE

Working with a Tampa attorney experienced in whistleblower retaliation laws is essential for gaining justice after whistleblowing has left you facing retaliation.

LEGAL REMEDIES FOR WHISTLEBLOWER RETALIATION

First, a whistleblower retaliation lawyer in Tampa will get acquainted with you and the details of your case. Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation into any ways you have experienced overt or suspected retaliation.

Depending on your situation and the types of retaliation you’ve experienced, a variety of whistleblower retaliation damages may be available to you.

ECONOMIC DAMAGES AFTER WHISTLEBLOWER RETALIATION

If you’ve been terminated from your position, an attorney can help you gain reinstatement.

If that option is undesirable, you may be awarded front-pay damages in lieu of compensation. Instead of resuming your position, you’ll be awarded anticipated future income. With a strong case, front pay damages can be substantial, particularly if blacklisting or other damage to your reputation and employability has occurred.

In addition to future pay, you can pursue back pay damages to cover the amount of income you were deprived of through termination. You can also seek to have your attorney fees and litigation costs covered by the other party.

COMPENSATORY AND SPECIAL DAMAGES

Compensatory damages and special damages are two additional forms of whistleblower retaliation damages. These might take the form of:

• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Humiliation
• Injury to reputation
• Other forms of non-monetary harm.

When retaliation causes harm of this nature, compensation is possible as a remedy for the damage.

PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND REPORTING REWARD

Punitive damages are another form of compensation that a whistleblower retaliation attorney can help a whistleblower gain.

Retaliation against whistleblowers is illegal. In some circumstances, the court may call for punitive damages. When this happens, whistleblowers can receive up to $250,000 from the total punitive damages amount.

In addition to these damages and remedies, whistleblowers stand to gain financially in other ways. Whistleblowing entails reporting activity that is illegal, illicit, or dangerous. When whistleblowing occurs, the company or agency engaged in wrongdoing can be penalized through imposed sanctions.

Whistleblowers can collect 10% to 30% of the sanction money paid by an employer as a reward for reporting the wrongdoing. As part of your whistleblower retaliation settlement, your dedicated Tampa lawyer can provide guidance on pursuing the maximum amount possible based on the sanctions issued in your case.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES HAVE SPECIAL PROTECTIONS

Whistleblowers who work for the government are in the unique position of reporting the actions of the government to the government. This can raise distinct fears of retaliation.

The Whistleblower Protection Act exists to ensure that government employees can safely report the actions of a government agency without fear of the consequences. Special protections exist for employees of government agencies.

Feldman Legal Group has extensive experience with all types of whistleblower retaliation cases, including lawsuits on behalf of government employees when they report the misconduct of a federal, state, or local government. We help people who want to report actions related to defense contractor fraud, Medicare fraud, SEC fraud, OSHA fraud, and other types of fraudulent activities.
