So no body damage?
I don't know the extent of the damage, you didn't say speeds or wether or not the wheel is screwed, but, I guess you're up for a new rim and wheel, main left control arm, probably the front stabilizer bar, and a heap of other things that hold the wheel on. Maybe front shock as well. I dunno. Could be even further damaged than that.

Geezus. Hope you don't need a new front drive axle either.
Better hit the EX up for that bill. It's not sounding cheap. Mind, I am just speculating, get a mechanic to do it over in the flesh.

for give me if this appears twice ..or even a few times...the forums went down or something i just copied what i wrote
haahaa 
yeap...ive sorta experience the same thing. the control arm was twisted..the wheel was broken bent panhard rod etc....i can direct you where to go and buy the parts. cant think of the number at the moment but they seem to have reasonable prices..i dont know..dont go anywhere else..
dont know if your able to fix it yourself or not..i might be able to help you with that too....
let this be a lesson to those out there...it pays to have nrma road side assist..
i would have been charged bout 200 dollars myself to have the car towed but didnt..cos the nrma thingy
also something bout if its an accident related incident,(ie not a mechanical failure) and over $300 theyll make you pay for the tow. i argued that itd be worth less than that..and got it done for free...im off topic here..
