"First to File" rule

If you have evidence of wrongdoing by a corporation or company, it is crucial to contact an attorney as quickly as possible. The “first to file” rule is among many reasons. This means the first person to file a claim against a company is the person entitled to the reward.

Fraud

In terms of insurance fraud, quite often whistle blower cases involve defrauding Medicare and Medicaid. One such case involved a well known pharmacy chain who was double dipping or double billing for prescriptions. There are numerous other cases of insurance fraud not only in the area of health.

There are many areas of tax fraud including false deductions, not reporting revenue, delaying earnings or losses to a different year, hiding profits and manufacturing losses and failing to file or pay taxes among many others.
