You are responsible, but your homeowner insurance should cover damage.
Does homeowner's property liability insurance cover for claims arising from the public using a private road owned by me in the title The road is not hard surfaced and is liable to potholes?
You need to post the property as "Private Property" and "No Trespassing". You are not responsible to people who come across your property without permission and are certainly not liable for damage to their vehicle when they are trespassing. Homeowner Liability Coverage will only pay for damages that you are legally responsible for paying and they will also pay for defending you. However, if you do not take steps to protect yourself like posting the property and even closing the road however you need to then the insurance company will cancel your insurance. You are required to mitigate your damages and keep them from happening. The local and state governments do not pay for damage to anyone's vehicle because they hit a pothole.

How do you file a claim against someone elses homeowners insurance?
Generally you don't. Homeowners insurance is property hazard insurance that is specific to the "named insured" homeowner(s) from certain losses incidental to home ownership. If the homeowner agrees that he or she is liable for your loss, the homeowner can just file a loss notice with his or her insurer. The insurer would then contact you (generally within 72 business hours) to process your claim. Contrary to popular belief, A property owner is not automatically liable for anything that happens on ones property. The injured party will need to prove that the homeowner actually caused the accident (simply being the owner does not make them liable) through direct action or through in-action (negligence). If the homeowner disagrees that they are liable for your loss, then that is a matter you may choose to take up with an attorney in a competent court. If the homeowner purchased liability insurance with his or her policy ( many do not ) , that portion of his policy would provide coverage for the cost of the insureds legal defense team as well as any resulting judgments of legal liability.

If the tenant's dog bites someone is the homeowner liable?
I believe a dog's owner is responsible for the dogsbehavior unless it's stated somewhere on the property that the dog will bite. Then it's your own fault for going on their property and not realizing that dog is nuts
