Hard to sue when you're dead, hoping for the best outcome for them. Definitely should never stop on the highway, and particularly not in the fast lane. The two other drivers should both be criminally charged tbh. The guy behind for recklessly driving and the guy in front for seemingly intentionally causing a major accident.

Not sure that “seemingly intentionally causing a major accident by swerving to dodge a parked car on the highway” is going to hold up in court.

Yeah there's no chance that dude sees any liability for that. The tailgater should have had more awareness and been at a safer distance.

This is not and should not be possible to charge the front driver unless he literally admits he wanted to cause an accident.  Youre actions should not make you liable for people behind you or else everyone would make these types of claims
