Is there any way to verify sectors on a hard drive to a disk on linux?

I just tripped and fell and my computer happened to break my fall, smashing onto the stairs. I am slightly worried that there might be some damage to the hard drive on my computer. It is still running, and shows no visible damage, but the boot disk is an SSD and it has a secondary HDD in it, neither of which shows any damage, software or hardware. I am still concerned that some of the sectors might be damaged, although the disk mounts fine. Is there any utility on Linux to check for bad or damaged sectors on a hard drive? Thanks.
