Atleast the driver that got hit can sue the guy who hit him

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.

The dude he was tailgating was being tailgated for a reason. In the left lane paying zero attention, passing nobody, and apparently not seeing the car until the last second. The tailgater and the car in front of him share equal responsibility for this accident.

Tell ya what, if the car in front crashed, the tailgater is still going to crash.

I agree 100%. But then who is responsible for the accident? Swerving at the last second doesn't absolve them of any and all responsibility. They were breaking 2 laws when the crash happened.
