A rental hack took off with a rider, crossed a road, got broadsided by a  
car, injured the rider and had to be put down.  In New York, stable liable  
all the way around

Daughter hits loose dog who is chasing the wheels, and kills it, dog owner  
liable for damage to car Washington State.

the real tragedy is the injury to the animals. Could you have found a way  
to flag the car until you were out of the way?  Why do people crowd  
animals on the road, just drive by as fast as they please? It's so  
dangerous and it makes me really mad.
