If you win your case against the company, legal remedies can include back pay and benefits, front pay (projected earnings), emotional damages or defamation, and reinstatement to your job. Many cases are settled in private negotiations or arbitration, while some cases must be resolved in state or federal court.
* Constructive Discharge — Employers leery of terminating a whistleblower may retaliate in other ways. If your employer made your work environment so hostile or degrading that you were forced to quit, you can still bring a wrongful termination suit for constructive discharge.

Proving Whistleblower Retaliation
Employers are within their rights to fire workers for poor job performance or insubordination. Investigation of whistleblower cases often reveals a record of steady or commendable reports and then an abrupt pattern of poor reviews that coincide with a whistleblowing incident or confrontation. Attorney Scott Telson is adept at sifting through employee records to demonstrate inconsistencies. He also excels at uncovering other evidence that proves our client was singled out after reporting abuses.
