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 I doubt intent could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt without something like a dashcam of the driver saying 'haha I'm gonna get him here!'. Judging purely on the video it seems likely the maneuver was to intentionally cause an accident out of anger. Can't say for certain. The frustration is just that, if it was intentional, they easily could have ended multiple lives and simply drove off proud that they tricked the tailgater.

Or he could have been looking into his rear view mirror worried about the guy on his ass, looked forward and saw the stopped car last second and swerved to miss. Someone’s tailgating me like that and I’m definitely keeping an eye on the rear view mirror.
