Whistleblower Claims in Santa Monica

Due to the complex nature of Whistleblower Disputes and the difficulty in proving that an employer’s conduct is the direct result of filing a Whistleblower Claim, it is crucial that you retain a lawyer who is well-versed in current Whistleblower Protection laws.

Santa Monica Whistleblower Attorney Jeffrey W. Cowan and The Cowan Law Firm have represented numerous clients in these cases since 1991, as well as a wide variety of cases resulting from an employer’s bad behavior, such as Wrongful Termination matters.

Whistleblower Laws protect employees from retaliatory conduct in the workplace as the result of engaging in legally protected activity, including but not limited to the following:

• Reporting Unsafe Working Conditions

• Reporting Fraudulent Conduct or Activities

• Reporting Illegal Conduct Pertaining to the Business

• Participating in an Investigation or Judicial Action Against Your Employer

Those who do partake in investigative or judicial proceedings, or report activity that sparks such, are protected against harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination as a result. Should an employer participate in any of these actions or encourage other employees to do so, the employer will be held civilly liable for such actions.

Examples of Retaliatory Conduct as the result of reporting illegal conduct that may spark a Whistleblower Action include the following, although this is not an exhaustive list:

• Harassment

• Cutting Hours

• Reducing Pay

• Unwarranted Demotion

• Cutting or Terminating Employee Benefits

• Termination (Either Outright Termination or Forcing an Employee to Quit)

Failure to bring your Whistleblower Action within the statutorily required timeframe will result in the permanent loss of your right to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you have suffered. Santa Monica Lawyer Jeffrey W. Cowan has been honored by his peers with Martindale-Hubbell’s “AV” rated Preeminent Attorney rating every year since 2002, and is one of the region’s most highly respected Employment Lawyers.
