The title confuses me to no end. My first instinct when I saw it was 'a guy that chases after a vehicle of some kind', and instead it's a legal profession. Can someone explain the title to me, so that I don't end up saying something stupid?

It's American lingo. Supposedly lawyers are so eager to get in on lawsuits that they'll chase after ambulances in the hopes that they can sue a rich person for the injury, regardless of whether or not they actually caused it.
Description has a few too many pronouns, so I edited it for those who haven't heard the term before.
See you in the discussion pages.
subject: rewrite? I feel like the page needs a lot of work to add links, compare to other tropes, and focus on its use in fiction. All the real life stuff is useful and relevant to an extent, but it might be best if it was put in the real life example section
