Ambulance Chaser An Ambulance Chaser is a term for an unethical lawyer, especially those who [represent] plaintiffs in personal injury actions. Origin The term is derived from lawyers who follow ambulances to [hospitals] after a person is injured, [usually] determined through the lawyer's use of a personal police/fire radio scanner, in order to attempt to drum up business by convincing a victim that he or she needs to sue, or by simply being the first lawyer in contact with the victim, [generally] when the victim is most prone to suggestion and easily talked into suing. In most jurisdictions, lawyers can be disbarred if caught engaging in such unethical behavior. Bar associations regularly dispatch investigators to large-scale disaster scenes to look out for unethical lawyers or their non-lawyer agents (known as "cappers" or "runners").
