I think the end of the lens caught the worst of it, because the lens hood shattered. The only other damage to camera or lens was a bent filter ring on the lens. I hope you are comparably lucky, but you will only know by trying it. Way back in the day, I ended up dropping my very first F2 four times onto concrete or asphalt, usually three or four feet, over the course of two or three years before any damage at all was done.
That time it landed on a corner of the prism, detachable. It sprung the prism so it was a little loose but still worked just fine. The newspaper I worked for paid for the repair so I had it fixed by Nikon. If they hadn't paid, I probably would have just taped it down with some gaffer tape. About years ago, my daughter was a toddler and managed to knock over an F2 of an FM that was on a tripod about five feet high, also onto concrete. That dented the UV filter enough that you couldn't put a lens hood into the front of it anymore but the filter protected the lens itself and kept the filter threads on the lens from getting dented.
I've never had a camera damaged to the point of not working. But like everyone else says, it's a matter of luck.
Bottom line is try your camera out and if everything is working fine maybe you just got lucky. A foot and a half or so off the couch onto your hopefully carpeted floor doesn't sound like much cause for alarm to me.

Some other things to check: Take the UV filter off, if you can, and see if the end of the lens is damaged in any way.
Since the UV filter was damaged this is the most likely area for further damage. I hope that you had the lens cap or a lens hood on the lens. Take the lens off the body and check whether there is any damage to the mount on either the lens or the body.
I believe that the fitting on the lens is designed to fail first to avoid more serious damage to the lens or body. Take some shots of something like a brick wall at different focal lengths and check that they are as sharp as you would have expected before the camera fell on the floor. If there is a blurred area down one side or the other that could be an indication that an optical element of the lens has been knocked out of alignment happened to me once. Check things like the battery compartment door and memory card door if they are separate.
Take out and replace both the battery and the card. Best of luck and let's hope that nothing serious has happened. Zuiko Digital ED mm F4. Zuiko Digital 45mm F1. Mark B. Since the lens filter took an obvious knock, I would check for decentration. Shoot a brick wall wide medium and tele at open aperture and f5. Usually gear can take a knock or two. Good luck.

I think the body is fairly durable and the fact that the battery isn't that heavy, best case nothing happened. Worst case there's some slight chipping on the body. Add a comment.

It also had been in slight rain, sometimes mud covers it, sometimes it is powdery dust etc. Everything just continued to work. Improve this answer.
