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.

3. Any lazy or undermotivated individual persuing a half-baked get-rich-quick scheme.

Pretty much self defining, one who chases around ambulances. Ok, to be more specific one who chases ambulances in order to file class action and personal injury lawsuits in the name of fighting for the little guy.
