the natural born enemy of physicians everywhere. a huge reason why healthcare in, for example, Pennsylvania is worse in every manner than in California. a terrible bastardization of the justice system, they hope for a lottery, shotgunning all parties involved in a particular accident in the hopes that one of these days they'll hit the jackpot. this takes away resources from people who have real claims as well as from hospitals/managed-care companies that are forced to charge more.
A: So what do you do for a living?
B: I'm a general surgeon.
A: No way! Wow, so you must make a lot of money!
B: You'd think so. My gross income is about $250K/yr pretax, but end up throwing 50% of it to malpractice insurance.
A: Wow, so doctors aren't really that greedy?
B: Generally not. In fact, if people didn't subscribe to ambulance chasers as important sources of justice, that would bring down my malpractice insurance, allowing me to see more patients while lowering my fees.

2. A person who follows people around a casino. They watch them loose a considerable amount of money in a slot machine and then plays the machine immediately after the person leaves with the idea that the machine will soon hit a jackpot.
That frickin Bruce just won 750 bucks on the same machine I just lost 200 bucks to. He is a dirty ambulance chaser.

Ambulance Chaser
A lawyer that specializes in retaining clients based on their injuries sustained from a car wreck; even if there were not any real injuries.
That damn attorney is nothing but an ambulance chaser. He has his client wearing a soft cervical collar even though they don't have a neck injury.
