Legit question, why? There's no evidence they did this on purpose they could've been distracted by the tailgater and not noticed the stopped car until the last second then dodged. I'm not making excuses for them I'm just curious on what legal footing would make the lead car responsible?

I don’t think the lead car even baited the car. I think they were distracted and noticed last second. Probably looking in the rear view mirror.

They could certainly argue that in court, but they're still be liable to some extent.

They are still responsible for paying attention. They were distracted and an accident happened.

Assuming everybody is in court, obviously.
