Whistleblower

It is illegal for a government agency to take action against an employee who in good faith reports a suspected violation of law, fraud, or abuse of authority, to the proper authorities or another government agency.

These persons are referred to as "Whistleblowers."

It is illegal for persons in the healthcare industry to take action against any other person in the healthcare industry for attempting to report any problems, even to their supervisors, which pertain to matters affecting a patient's safety, health or welfare.

These persons are referred to as "Healthcare Whistleblowers."

Employment related lawsuits are very technical legal processes, and an employee who feels that they have been wronged should consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect their legal rights.
