First step for me would be getting the documents safely to another storage location before attempting to recover from the failed update.
Boot the machine with the original LL live installation media (either USB or DVD). It may be necessary to tweak the BIOS/UEFI sequence to do this.
Once the LL Live version desktop is up, cancel the update screen and identify the normal system disk icon which should appear as an unmounted volume.
Right click the icon and mount the volume.
Open file manager and navigate through the mounted disk to locate all the important documents - probably under 'home/username'
Insert a USB drive which is large enough to hold the essential documents. This should auto mount.
Copy and paste the important documents from the disk to the USB device.
Unmount the USB drive, remove it and check the documents are safely on it.
