Whistleblower

If you have evidence of illegal acts being committed by your employer, such as health and safety violations, falsification of documents or other deceptive business practices you have the right to report the unlawful conduct and maintain your job under the law.

If you have been fired or threatened with termination for reporting the illegal acts to authorities you may have a claim for lost wages, distress, and possibly punitive damages.
