ambulance chasers
Accident-seeking attorneys
Ambulance chasers are lawyers who aggressively solicit accident victims as clients, figuratively racing to the scene to sign them up for personal injury lawsuits.
The term is always disparaging, suggesting greed and exploitation of misfortune: Those ambulance chasers started calling before Dad was even out of the hospital.
By extension, anyone who exploits others' misfortunes for profit.
