Ambulance Chasing? Not according to them…
January 16th, 2010. By AbiK
One of the comments we hear from time to time at LawyersAndSettlements.com is…”But aren’t you just ambulance chasing?” And it’s a question class action litigators get all the time, too. So I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on just what it is that brought us here…comments—and pleas for help—like these:
“I want to thank you for writing about Mike and Cipro. Perhaps the story can help someone. I hope so. I’m sure someone working for Bayer has read the story by now. Thank you for not letting them forget what they’ve done to him.”

“Hello Heidi - Gosh - Your article had been excellent and explained in basic terms that I think a lot of readers will relate to. I know I read all the testimonials to find out what other people are experiencing and that is a big help for me to determine what I will do with certain products. I am very glad to have spoken with you and Thank You for having contacted me”

“Hi. Can you please send me the information on getting your home checked? I live in a townhouse, but ever since i moved in I have had constant health issues, problems sleeping well, had sinus surgery because my allergies and sinuses were so bad. I just want to have it check [for Chinese drywall] so I know it was or wasnt anything that might of influenced it.”

“Thanks for your time and interest Jane, it meant a lot to me as it seemed that there were numerous Duragesic stories out there were from “first/timer users”. I hope my story can shed some light on the facts that the risks are very high, even to a former seasoned high dose med/opiate user such as myself. It is so easy for me to see how deadly this med can be to all the “joe averages” out there w/minimal med/opiate/interaction and prior overdose experience and especially for those who live alone and don’t have any oversight to monitor them…”
Unless you’re knee-deep in this business—or you suddenly find yourself a victim in need of legal assistance—it’s oh-so-easy to depict it as ”ambulance-chasing”. But I’ve come to learn that “there but for the grace of…”—you know that saying—and that anything can happen to anyone at any time. So why am I here? Because if I’ve been able to help just one person traverse some unfamiliar territory in their time of need, then I’ve made a difference.
