Cousin Jimmy and his 4 muscular teens were not insured.. but guess you get what you pay for!! (free beer, pizza, buffalo wings) Lol
I do know exact stain used is it possible to touch it up myself?
Oh geez
Well can't get mad at them then. LOL! Go to the local Menards, Home Depot or Ace and ask the guys in flooring what is the best way to fix the problem. Bring the picture, They can help! It will be fine.
You can conceal the scratch by using a MinWax Wood Finish stain marker; it's like a Sharpie but it has wood stain instead of ink. Buy the one that most closely matches your floor; apply it to the scratched area, and then wipe off the excess with a paper towel. I can pretty much guarantee that the scratch will at least be a LOT less obvious, if not disappear entirely. I have used one on 90 year old heart pine floors and had excellent results!

Possible? Yes. But only if you want it to look worse than it is now.
Seriously, have the flooring company that did the finishing come and do the repair- as previously stated, they know how and have done it probably a thousand times. Site-finished floors can a little tricky hiding repairs.

"Stain" does not adhere to polyurethane- there's no need to even approach this idea.

It will adhere to the part that is scratched.
I would use either dabs of the original stain, or some other kind of scratch fixer product, it will make the scratch less obvious, and call it good.
I wouldn't turn every scratch into a refinish job to the flooring company, whose standards probably have to be a lot higher for those willing to pay for a professional repair.
How do I begin!! Our new house is finished and has a beautiful expresso wood stain (#1 oak) today the movers DRAGGED the couch across causing the scratch below - he casually says "oh just buy some wood polish it will go away" but I doubt polish would make it go away? need some expert thoughts?!!
Tell him, "OK, I'll wait here while you go get the polish and fix it. Meanwhile, I'm not signing anything or paying any bills until you do".
Idiots, they cause the freaking problem and they assign you a job to go fix it.
