It is against the law everywhere to block a driveway, and if you were somehow At Fault for your trailer being struck, yes. If you were obstructing the driveway with the trailer and it was hit as someone attempted to exit the drive, BOTH you and the other driver could be charged.

Can the neighbor park on the shared private driveway?
A co-owner of a shared driveway cannot claim more rights in the driveway for themselves by blocking access to the other owner. They would have no defense if the other party were to sue and could be liable for any resulting damages and legal costs. Your neighbor's behavior is unreasonable and irresponsible. You should consult with an attorney.

Only if the trailer is unladen, and also up for repossession. Otherwise, it must be detached from the power unit before the power unit is towed away. If there's a load on that trailer, and that trailer is towed away, the repossession agency is liable to come under criminal and civil charges.

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.
