Whistleblower Claim Defense Lawyer in Florida

Unfortunately any disgruntled employee who has been terminated, demoted, denied a raise or for other reasons best known to him or herself can file a report with a government agency alleging any number of violations. The federal government publicly encourages employees to expose their employers by offering a reward of a percentage of monies recovered. The Florida Division of Workers' Compensation has a website wherein any individual can fill out an online form to report "an employer you suspect has illegally failed to secure workers' compensation insurance coverage for all of the employer's employees".

The best protection from the fines and penalties which could be assessed would be to take action to ensure your business is bulletproof before any complaint can be made. A malicious report made simply for the purpose of causing inconvenience or a whistleblower claim of retaliation can be made far less injurious by an experienced whistleblower claim defense lawyer, who is fully prepared to deal with the complex issues in this type of case.
