Default Brake lines are gone?

Last night I hit a curb on the street going about 20-25mph. Messed up my front and rear rim pretty bad, but more importantly, my brakes aren't working anymore. Anybody have any idea on what I need replaced? Are my brake lines shot or has the battle with the curb caused a more significant problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can't really answer that without more info or a visual. Could be any number of problems due to the impact.

^^^ took time to understand.

Your brake lines must be leaking or something.

Ahh, had it checked out this morning. Turns out a vacuum hose fell off or something like that. He plugged it back in and I'm back in business! I wish I knew something about cars!

This forum actually has the word "brakes" in it so we'll move it here.
