Depends on the car, where he walked on it and the nature of the damage.

If the hood was closed at the time and in it's proper position , I wouldn't think walking ( not excessively jumping up & down ) on it would break the hinge ? It definitely could damage the hood's surface ! Of course , there are such a variety of hood shapes , etc. that anything is possible . But generally speaking , I'd have to say no .

Yeah, I think more details are needed to attempt to answer the question - make, model, and year of vehicle in question, weight of the former friend you're trying to sue for breaking your hood hinge, etc.
