An unscrupulous lawyer.
As soon as he arrived in the emergency room following the car crash, he was greeted by three ambulance chasers.

1. Someone who runs after the EASY dream, not willing to do what it takes to earn the real thing.
2. A lazy person who chooses the easy wrong over the hard right.

Lawyers aren't the only "ambulance chasers" out there. Look at all the kids in Hollywood searching for the magic formula that they think will launch them to stardom. None really make it. . . .

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!"
