It depends on other facts and factors you do not mention. You probably have no responsibility, but if you have defects on your property that cause injury you could well be sued. Whether these persons have permission or implied permission would seem to be an important factor, and while you may deny permission the injured person may say otherwise, and that would be an issue for trial. Permission is not a factor if a trespasser is a minor or another exceptional circumstance probably not present here. If you are concerned you might want to check to make sure your homeowners insurance is in force. Best luck JBS
