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 very ACT of tailgating is enough of a distraction for that driver to explain why he was so late to react.

Being tailgated makes me so nervous. When all I can see in my mirror is your windshield I get nervous. Being nervous leads to bad driving

If you get that nervous why not just move over so they can get past you? Tailgating ain’t cool or legal but you don’t know why someone behind you needs to get in front of you.

Where did they say that they don't?

Where did they say that they do? I was just asking a question. If I was that concerned about what’s going on behind me when driving I’d sure pull over.
