My immediate answer would be that they cannot. They committed no crime. If there was some way in which it could be shown that they caused the accident, and I'm not sure I can figure out a way that would happen without a lot of thinking, then they could be sued.

Is it my fault if I hit a chain on private property that had no reflector on it?
Yes. you are responsible for damage to private property. the owner does not have to have a reflector on the chain. its his and he owns it. ok. what you can do is go to the owner accept responsibility for the damage you caused and offer to replace or pay for it.

probably not. if vehicle is illegally there,then they dont have your permission to be there. you are not responsible for the care of the vehicle nor for damage that occurrs. Usually, yes. As a general rule, a stationary object cannot be "at fault" in a motor vehicle collision.

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.

It's just like any other property-damage accident only the sign belongs to the state and is not private property. You must report the accident and exchange the same information you would if you hit a private vehicle or private property.
Who is responsible when backing out of your own private driveway and hit a car parked in front of and obstructing the driveway?
It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.

If an uninsured driver backs into a parked car that was backed in making it less visible to the driver on private property and the driver nor it's passengers could see the car what happens?
You hit a parked vehicle. No matter how or where it was parked, you are responsible for the damages. If you hit the car, you could have seen the car if you had been looking. You have no insurance which is a violation of the law. Pay the owner of the car you hit and accept responsibility for your poor driving, and stop trying to blame this on how the vehicle you hit was parked. It is your fault plain and simple.
If the owner gave permission to a licensed driver is the licensed driver still responsible to pay for an accident?
It is my understanding that the car owner's insurance pays for the person who was hit. The driver's insurance is responsible for the car he/she was driving.
