Accident
victims are often solicited at accident scenes, hospitals, by telephone
and even at their own home. The individuals who solicit
accident victims are often working with medical facilities, lawyers
and/or some so-called “foundation”. They are commonly known as “runners”
or “ambulance chasers”.
“Runners” or “ambulance chasers” are not looking out for the best
interest of the accident victim. They seek out accident victims
and refer them to an attorney and/or medical facility who pay them
in return for finding them a new client. These “runners” or “ambulance
chasers” are generally involved in an illegal referral scheme with
lawyers and medical facilities. In return for finding an attorney
or medical facility a new client, the “runners” or “ambulance chasers”
are generously compensated.
All of these practices are illegal and can lead to the arrest
and imprisonment of the doctors and lawyers involved. A criminal
conviction can result in the lawyer or doctor losing their license
to practice and their respective fields.
At Paris & Chaikin, PLLC, we believe in the honest practice of
law. We believe that every accident victim deserves to be represented
by honest and hard working attorneys who attract clients by reputation
and personal commitment rather than by fraud and illegal acts.
If you are the victim of the practices described above, please
call our office to discuss you options. The consultation is free
with absolutely no obligations. You do not have to continue being
represented by a “dirty’ lawyer or medical facility who is solely
motivated by greed. Your attorney may be fired at any time with
absolutely no cost to you.
