More details to this question:
Greetings, I was involved in an accident where I collided with a vehicle in front of me. They braked abruptly with no vehicles or obstructions ahead of us. I was situated between one and two car legnths away and did not have enough time to react, ending with a rear-end collision. Because they had no reason to brake rapidly, I suspect their braking action was with malicious intent, and I wish to seek council on how to proceed. Thank you for your time.

Juries tend to find in favor of the rearendee rather than the rearendor. But there are instances when the driver of the second vehicle immediately is not responsible, and the person whose car was hit is responsible.
It all depends on the facts. Who was exercising reasonable care? Who was not? How fast were you driving? How slowly were they driving. What was the speed limit? Were yur sweeherthn=Were there witnesses? If so, what do they say they observed? Was there a police report? If so, what did the officer conclude was the cause of the collision?
Many more questions, but hopefully these will give you a bit to go on for now.
