Default flat tire after wheel was hit

Hi, everyone

I got a car accident. Some one changed the lane very quickly on my right and hit the right front wheel of my car, leading to lose control of my car. Fortunately, I was OK. But I drived with flat right tire for a while at low speed. Although my car was tow away for fixxing, I want to know what would be damaged after driving with flat right tire, or what I need to check if they will be Ok after coming back from auto repair shop? Thanks.

Front wheel got hit hard enough to bend the rim???..
Suspension (strut mounting, tie rods), alignment, balance the wheel, doubt the brake rotor got bent, but have them check that too. Hard to tell if anything gets pushed around with out having it on a rack.

Tire is most likely done, as soon as you run on a tire lower than 80% of rec. inflation the inner liner gets chewed up and makes the tire unusable.
