They can always sue you, but you wouldn't be legally responsible unless there was some defective condition that caused your friend to fall which you knew or should have known about, and failed to remedy. You should have homeowner's insurance (or renters if you're a tenant) which includes liability coverage. Then if you get sued, your insurance co. takes care of it.
