ambulance chaser

Disaster-exploiting lawyer

Ambulance chaser is a derogatory term for a lawyer who aggressively solicits clients, especially accident victims, to profit from personal injury lawsuits.

The image is of an attorney literally chasing ambulances to reach injured people before competitors do.

By extension, anyone who exploits others' misfortune for personal gain: The reporters descended like ambulance chasers after the scandal broke.
