Laptop warranty issues

So i've got an active warranty on my laptop
but i feel like that won't cover "friend just stepped on the screen and broke it"
Is there some way to find out how much it would cost to recover the screen? I'm a little inebriated right now and am having some difficulty finding out what i should be searching for, or where to find information on my warranty.

As for how much it will cost to replace that really depends on what kind of screen it is, what kind of laptop it is, and if you can do the work yourself.
Do you have a make and model number of the laptop in question?
Took a couple hours of working carefully and placing the different screws in ziplock bags. The mac display was wedged pretty tight into an aluminum frame and required dismantling most of the laptop. There were instructional videos for different models. Your model might be easier or harder depending on manufacture and instruction availability.
Do you have renter's insurance? Did you order it with a credit card? How long ago?
You're looking at a $300-500 repair on the laptop.
The extended warranty i have says one (1) lcd replacement within 2 years
so maybe i can do some finagling
i'll check out prices on this screen and how much it'll cost to replace!
