Yes, unless the other dog has an owner and the owner said that it was his fault. If its a stray dog just take it to the vet and tell them what happened, you shouldn't get in trouble unless the other dog has an owner and decides to press charges against you.

i know this sounds insane but really what you need to do is take them on a walk together if possible. the walk should seem relaxing and this will help them relieve tension between the two of them this will also help them form a pack. While on the walk if your dog is staring at the other dog nudge his face away with your knee so they do not stare and feel like fighting. you will probably have to do this a couple times until they think that the other dog is okay to be around. They just need to form a pack

It depends on how much damage the other dog inflicted on yours. If it was just a little scuffle; make sure you have your vet give him a through examination to make sure nothing major is damaged.

If your dog was mauled and badly injured and you took him to the vet and to keep him alive it costs you a arm & leg, I would suggest that you prosecute the owner. In fact in both instances I would file in small claims court for the cost of you vet bills.

Are you responsible for medical bills for a trespassing dog that your dog mauled on your property?

Would you be responsible for the attack of your dog upon another dog on someone else's property? Of course! It depends on the relative culpability of the dogs. Dogs' conceptions of property lines are unlike yours, but on the whole you are responsible for the behavior of your dog. A dog that attacks anything other than obvious prey is almost certainly a vicious dog'. One has the obligation to constrain a dog that has a tendency to attack people, livestock, or other dogs. You might be less responsible if the other dog spoils for a fight, but that would be hard to determine.

Who is responsible if a dog kills your dog?

this all depends on where it happened. If your dog was on its own property leased or fenced in and the other dog was unleashed and coming on to your property and kills your dog the owner of the other dog is definitely responsible. If your dog got loose and wandered on to the other property you are responsible. If this happened in the street then which ever dog was off-leash the owner of that dog is fully responsible. That is why it is sad when a person does not have control of their animal.
