Politicians are competent, hard-working and devoted to public service.
Insurance Companies exist to help you.
Changes to Insurance Law are only about making things fairer.
If you believe any of the above, you've never lived in the real world.
At least that's the view of lawyer Christopher Blake. Of course, Chris is what people call an ambulance chaser, so what would he know? Too much, according to the Bar Association, which has just struck him off. Far too little according to his girlfriend.
Chris is now bankrupt, and the only work he can get is giving pro bono advice at a legal centre on how to sue a cat. This isn't paying his creditors, but the presence of a colleague who looks like Catherine Zeta-Jones almost makes up for this. In desperation, Chris takes on a job with South Pacific Group Insurance, the world's fastest-growing insurance company, and a place where injury paintiffs should stop moaning and die.
Which, Chris notices, they happen to be doing at an alarming rate.
Chris decides to conduct his own investigation into South Pacific, and The Ambulance Chaser becomes the brilliantly funny tale of what can happen when a corporation breaches capitalism's golden rule - never employ an honest lawyer.
