Someone who lies for a living and coaches others to lie as well. Usually the type of person who convinces an accident victim to exaggerate or altogether make up their injures in order to get maximum dollars. Fake arms casts! Usually can be seen cavorting with equally unethical doctors who help them. Ambulance chasers are usually sociopaths who don't care who they hurt or how many lives they destroy; they will do anything for a buck.
Member of the legal profession; someone who assists accident victims in getting compensation for avoidable or, more usually, unavoidable reasons (IE being compensated for tripping over a loose floor tile). Also used to describe anyone who profits from others' misfortune.
"That ambulance-chaser tried to get my aunt to sign a contract after her accident. She was still in her hospital bed!"
on tv:"I'm Frank D. Azar, attorney at law. Have you been injured in an automobileaccident? You may be entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Call me, I can help."
Douche bags that look for companies in financial crisis and then prey on them in order to suck any remaining assets or cash they may be able to profit from. They advertise in the national newspapers, on the radio and on TV.
They send unsolicited mail to companies and individuals to who have had county court judgements and winding up petitions lodged against them offering salvation and solutions. They make false promises to company directors. The companies who operate in this way charge huge fees for unprofessional advice.
a lesser breed of human known as an accident lawyer. to be found in accident and emergency departments and on daytime tv.
"have you been injured in the past three years?....not your fault? call the ambulance chasers and we will miraculously get you lots of money and not charge you." hmmmmmmmm
An ambulance chaser is a disreputable lawyer who, if he witnessed an accident, would chase the ambulance in order to represent the victim in a legal claim.
