Solution
Chances are your hard drive got damaged in the fall. Boot of a Linux Live disk and see if you can get to the hard drive and copy your files out to an external drive, or remove the hard drive from the laptop and put it in a drive enclosure and use another computer to get the files out. You may not be able to if you have physical damage on the drive, which looks to be the case.
