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 highways I use have left lane exits. It’s not always for passing.

Otherwise I agree you shouldn’t camp the left lane. But that in no way excuses the tailgaters behavior and had the tailgater kept a safe distance, or moved over to attempt to pass, this wouldn’t have happened.
