Have Questions About Coming Forward With Evidence of DOT Fraud? A Georgia Government Fraud Attorney Has Answers
The federal and state departments of transportation regularly contract with private companies for the building and maintenance of roads and bridges.
But that doesn’t mean taxpayer dollars are always used correctly. If you have questions about coming forward with evidence of DOT fraud, a Georgia government fraud attorney can help.
Georgia workers and other employees in the private sector who work for companies that contract with federal or state Department of Transportation divisions may have a right to file a qui tam claim under the False Claims Act (FCA). If you are a government employee, you also have added protections under the Georgia Whistleblower Act (GWA), which expressly protects workplace rights. Additionally, OSHA statutes protect whistleblower who expose discrimination, safety, health or other workplace violations.
A qualified Bothwell Law Group Roswell FCA lawyer will evaluate your claim, determine your eligibility to claim, and step you through the entire process, as well as advising you on how to avoid disqualification.
