How Do I File a Whistleblowers Lawsuit in California?
Proving that the employer’s behavior was retaliatory rather than based on employee performance is critical to a whistleblower retaliation claim. After demonstrating the original crime, the whistleblower plaintiff must explain how it affected their livelihood and ability to earn a living. For example, suppose the whistleblower plaintiff was fired for reporting criminal activity. They must prove that they believed criminal activity was taking place, that the complaint caused their termination, and that it hindered their ability to find new work. The plaintiff must further prove that the employer’s action was unlawful rather than a commercial choice. These elements and proof of the elements can make whistleblower retaliation lawsuits complicated. And if the whistleblower plaintiff cannot obtain a similar position, it must be shown how the retaliatory employer conduct has damaged their livelihood.
When reporting an employer’s misbehavior, it is critical to a successful claim that whistleblowers know their legal rights, and it is advisable that they consider having experienced legal counsel on their side. If you submit a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit, our attorneys will investigate to determine if any workplace laws were broken. If so, and we further determine that there was retaliation, we will work with you to resolve the issue. We may also file a lawsuit and if we prevail, a court may require your employer to pay damages. Again, UELG qualified whistleblower attorneys can help you understand these legalities and your rights. Contact UELG for an evaluation of your claims.

What are California’s Whistleblower Laws?
There are a number of laws in place, both federal and state, designed to safeguard employees who “blow the whistle.” The California Whistleblower Protection Act is considered to be one of the most important employment laws in California, and helps to ensure that employees can exercise their right to raise concerns or report problems or illegal activities at work without fear of reprisal by the employer. Typical whistleblower concerns or issues at work can include things like fraud, embezzlement, wasting the city's resources, abusing authority, breaking the law, or posing a hazard to the health and safety of employees or members of the public.
