Check rims for damage. And sidewalls on the tires. Also might look underneath at the brake lines.

and the exhaust pipes, I ran over a 2x4 once and it ripped my h-pipe apart, that was fun for awhile, even the cops were like "WTF?!?! what exhaust you got?"

thats rough man, definitely never expect to see a ladder in the road. Do you think someone put it there on purpose?

You should have went back for the ladder. Then go find the guy who left it and wrap it around his head!!!
