yes they can be sued for animal cruelty. In the case of Roe VS. Wade (FED EX) The state of Maryland decided that the delivery driver was responsible for injuring the dog he hit while delivering a package. Since fed ex has not installed the front axle cameras the state of Maryland decided they did not take proper precaution from injuring the animal and were liable for all veterinary bills and required to pay the family 1 million dollars over a period of 10 years for their emotional distress. Just kidding I made this whole thing up sorry about your dog.

Are you liable for a car accident on private property?
It depends, so here are some scenerios: If there are several cars parked in a private driveway and you back-up or start speeding out of the driveway and hit another car then you are responsible for hitting the other car. If you were speeding on a road and turned a curve and ended up on someone's property you are responsible for the damage done on their property and that includes ripping up gardens, grass, crashing into any part of that home or uprooting trees. If you were on private property and someone else hit you causing you to damage that property then it would be the other person that is responsible.
