Default Broken Knuckle from small curb

I hope I am posting in the right section...
Last night I hit a small curb that I didn't see when it was dark and rainy.
I kind of tried to turn last second to avoid and ended up hitting it with my front right tire first at an angle.

Ended up pulling over and having to tow my car home because there was something clearly wrong and it was like I was running 10 degrees of negative camber.

I take the wheel off and the knuckle is broken in half?!

This seems to be the only thing broken on my car, and as far as I can tell my wheel isn't even curbed because I hit it with the tire first. My front bumper popped off in the corner but it popped right back in after I pushed it back.

I have an extended warranty through a third party. My question is do I try to go through warranty or should I just purchase a new knuckle and be done with it. As far as I know this piece shouldn't fail how it did. I will likely just purchase a replacement but was wondering my chances of it being covered by a warranty. I suppose my best bet is to call them to see what is covered, but has anyone else had this fail on them?

Thanks in advance.
