Accidents happen and when they happen with the IPad, it usually means you are looking at getting another one.
When you purchase your next IPad, you may want to consider purchasing an extended warranty with accident coverage. I purchased a warranty on my Ipad2 and my wife's from square trade.com. They offer several options for extended warranties and the cost was less than Apple and it included accidental drops/spills.
