Sure. As just about all adults know, if you break something or cause damage to someone's property you pay for it. If someone runs into your car by accident, do you just tell them no problem you will pay for the damages? If the "accident" on the basketball was your son's fault, you may very well be responsible for the medical bills. We don't have all the details - you will need to see a lawyer.
Of course she can. People sue over accidents every day (think car wrecks). Your homeowners may defend this type case for you so I hope you reported it. Otherwise you need a lawyer.
