At Parker Straus, LLP, we built our practice fighting fraud perpetrated against insurance carriers, third party administrators, self-insureds and government entities. Parker Straus, LLP attorneys work to combat the over $20 billion annually lost via insurance fraud in California alone. If you have a potential insurance fraud or qui tam case, contact an attorney at our firm serving San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and other areas throughout the Southwest, for a case evaluation.
Our qui tam team protects individuals and helps them obtain compensation when they have private knowledge that a government body is conducting fraud or other illegal and unethical activity. Qui tam, commonly referred to as “the whistleblower statute,” is a provision of the Federal Civil False Claims Act. It allows people to file a lawsuit charging fraud by government contractors and others who receive or use government funds. Individual “whistleblowers,” or “relators,” are eligible to receive between 15% and 25% of the funds recovered in any case.
Parker Straus, LLP has successfully litigated insurance fraud and qui tam cases resulting in seven-figure judgments and settlements for our clients. We combat financial corruption by uncovering it and fighting it via:
- Common law fraud and other civil litigation methods
- Insurance Code § 1871.7
- Business and Professions Code § 17200
- Federal RICO statute
- False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729
