You need to have your friend sign a release of liability for the accident. You should check with a local attorney for a form (should be very cheap and WELL worth the money). Also, you should check and make sure you are not required to report the accident. The release of liability will protect you in case your friend changes his mind. The release should cover personal injury and property damage.

Please reply if I can help further.
