She can file a lawsuit. Whether she can win depends on why she fell and whether or not you were negligent.

Yes. Owners and occupiers of land (you) owe a duty to all visitors to protect them from hazards associated with the property. This isn't a strict liability situation - you are liable if you failed to act with the skill and care of a reasonable person with ordinary prudence.

Was it your fault why she fell? If so, yes.
