Friend accidently tripped over my computer cord and the laptop fell face down on the hard wooden floor from the table.
It is still going but underneath crooked and something seems to have been knocked out so now it doesn't sit flat.
He was very abusive to me.
it amazingly seems to work but what sort of damage would have or could have been done?
Where do I need to take it?

You probably just need to have the case adjusted a bit to straighten it out. The most common thing to break aside from the screen is the hard-drive during a fall, since everything seems to be working fine, you should be OK. Another thing to make sure is that the fans are still on properly, if they were jarred loose, laptop can start to overheat and shut off...

The hard drive could've been damaged. Personally i handle my laptop very roughly (a macbook pro 2011 edition) and nothing has broken so far. I have also handled my mom's laptop and my dad's laptops very roughly (2 acer laptops, 1 samsung laptop) and nothing has happened so far. Your laptop should be fine.
 


I am not going to allow you to come any closer than 1 mile to my laptop.

Any computer shop would be able to look it over and see what can be adjusted. They would probably need to take apart the case a bit and re-align the seams.
