As much as people like to sue these days, do you as a CFI run the risk of being targeted for litigation if, say, you sign off a student for a solo flight and he plants himself somewhere?
Even if the crash is entirely the student pilot's fault, lawsuits tend to have ridiculous claims. I'm guessing that a lawyer would most likely try to place the blame on you, the CFI, for "not giving adequate instruction."
I can't wait to be a CFI, but having to face this risk is not an aspect of it that I'm looking forward to.
