A History of Whistleblowing
The term “whistleblower” was originally used to describe an individual who reported the illegal actions of a company that was defrauding the government. In fact, the False Claims Act was signed into law more than one hundred years ago to help combat fraud by suppliers to the United States government during the Civil War.
Over the years, however, the definition has expanded to identify anyone who reports corporate or business crimes that are being committed without the knowledge of the victim. The False Claims Act provides whistleblowers with compensation in the form of a percentage of the amount the government recovers in the case the whistleblower brings to them.
California Whistleblower Laws
Under California law, employers generally may not retaliate against employees who “blow the whistle” on illegal practices such as discrimination, safety violations, mismanagement, false claims, misuse of funds, wage and hour violations, or any other type of criminal activity. And yet, employer retaliation seems to be the norm rather than the exception when it comes to whistleblowers.
If you have blown the whistle on illegal practices you observed in your company and, as a result, have been demoted, fired, or endured an adverse working environment that caused you to quit, you may be able to pursue legal action against your employer. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to seek reinstatement, compensation for lost wages and benefits, and even attorney fees.
Why Hire a Whistleblower Lawyer?
From January 2024 through October 2025, the California State Auditor investigated work on 2,636 whistleblower cases pertaining to state government agencies alone. This covers only whistleblowers’ claims regarding state agencies filed under the California Whistleblower Protection Act.
When you consider the fact that many claims involve the private sector, it’s clear that the Golden State is home to many conscientious citizens and workers doing their duty to protect themselves and others from illegal, malicious acts by employers, both private and public. If you’re among them and you’ve faced retaliation as a result, you can hire a whistleblower lawyer to help you.
A whistleblower lawyer can protect your rights as an employee and help you hold your employer accountable for retaliating against you for exercising them. They can gather evidence against major employers like Boeing Co., engage in pre-filing negotiations, and litigate your case before a jury, should it become necessary. Working with a whistleblower attorney is an effective way to promote a positive outcome in your case.
FAQs
How Long Will My Whistleblower Claim Take to Resolve?
How long a whistleblower claim takes to resolve will vary depending on the specifics of the case. If your case is relatively simple and there is abundant evidence that your employer took negative action against you for reporting a crime, it could be resolved quickly in pre-filing negotiations. If your case must go before a jury for a resolution, it could take longer.
What Is the Average Settlement for a Whistleblower?
There is no such thing as an average settlement for a whistleblower because every claim is different. The value of your claim could vary based on factors such as the extent of the economic damage caused by your employer, the strength of the evidence you have to support your claim, and your attorney’s skill in negotiating a fair settlement.
What Doesn’t Count as Whistleblowing?
There are many reporting activities that don’t count as whistleblowing. Airing personal employment grievances or routine disagreements over lawful business practices is not whistleblowing, and neither is reporting information that is already public knowledge.
Knowingly filing false or malicious allegations does not afford you whistleblower protections, either. To qualify for legal protections, your disclosure must involve a reasonable belief that a violation of law has occurred.
What Constitutes Retaliation Against a Whistleblower?
Acts that constitute retaliation against a whistleblower include any actions taken by an employer to punish an employee for reporting illegal, unsafe, or unethical behavior. They often include things like firing, demotion, pay cuts, harassment, and bad performance reviews. If you have been subjected to punishment by your employer for blowing the whistle, you should contact a Long Beach whistleblower attorney right away.
