The Law Office of Bill Nettles has had a massive win. Recently, the St. Francis Health System agreed to an unprecedented settlement in a false claims act case. At $36.5 million, this is the largest settlement ever in the history of the District of South Carolina for a false claims act case that was initially declined by the Department of Justice. Fran Trapp and Bill Nettles, The Law Office of Bill Nettles, and Brian Vroon brought this case to settlement. The fact that this case was initially declined by the DOJ speaks to the perseverance of every lawyer on this case that decided to remain steadfast in their stance.
The Allegations
The allegations against the St. Francis Health System involved violations of several regulations, which led to false claims for payment from the U.S. Government. St. Francis Health System eventually agreed to avoid a lengthy legal process and further litigation, which could cost them time and money. Instead, they agreed to settle at $36.5 Million.
