You may have damaged either the usb interface or the internal hard drive. That depends on the drop and a lot on luck.
If it is the usb part of it then you can put the internal drive into a new usb drive enclosure for about $50.
If it is the drive itself you can use a data recovery service and they usually can get your data off of the drive. The problem is that you may pay $500-$1000 for the service.
