Whistleblowers are often protected from having to face an employer's legal department for refusing to hire them due to their concern over workplace safety. However, some states still have laws against whistle blowers and this may make you eligible for a Whistleblower lawsuit funding advance.
The Whistleblower Act, also known as the California False Claims Act is a statute specifically based upon the federal False Claims act which allows whistle blowers to file qui tam/ qui tam lawsuits in lieu of filing a wrongful death suit under the federal statute of limitations. Under the False Claims act, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit expires. Thus, whistle blowers can bring wrongful death claims in California to obtain compensation for their suffering and loss and to protect other employees who may suffer from injury due to the whistle blower's actions.
It is important to remember, however, that a Whistleblower lawsuit funding advance does not require you to pay back the advance. It is an award from the court for your injuries and your attorney's fees. You can use this money to purchase your own attorney's fees, medical bills, or any other financial needs that arise during the case. If your attorney's fees do not cover the full costs of the litigation, you will be expected to pay these costs out of your own pocket.
Not all funding advance providers are equal, however. Many of these advances are very short term, lasting only six months or less. Other funding firms do not require repayment of the advance at all; however, there are others who expect that you repay the advance within a certain amount of time after the case has been settled.
Be sure to thoroughly read the contract before signing it because some cases require the plaintiff to submit the legal forms for processing as soon as the case has been filed, in order to allow sufficient time for filing to the court. It is important to review the contract carefully with regard to whether or not you are obligated to repay the legal expenses.
If you have been injured while working for the public sector, then you may qualify for Whistleblower lawsuit funding, regardless of whether you have filed a personal injury or work-related lawsuit. because the courts in Californiare required by law to protect the rights of all parties involved. if you can prove that the public agency has failed to follow the right procedures when dealing with a whistle blower's claim. If you can show that there was a "pattern and practice" of negligence, then you may receive compensation from the agency that has failed to ensure that the standards of care in the workplace were met.
