Ambulance chasing

Common card · No. 291141

Ambulance chasing, also known as barratry or capping, is an American term that refers to a lawyer soliciting for clients at a disaster site. The term "ambulance chasing" comes from the stereotype of lawyers who follow ambulances to the emergency room to find clients. "Ambulance chaser" is used as a derogatory term for a personal injury lawyer. Ambulance chasing is also associated with runners and cappers, non-attorneys who are hired by lawyers to seek out client leads (such as through trawling social media feeds or directly soliciting the attorneys' services towards victims).
