Unfortunately it looks like you have more than just body damage with all of that camber. Hopefully they do a good job getting that straigtened out so it drives as it should again.
May need to go back one more step as to what camber is!

Camber angle is the angle made by the wheels of a vehicle; specifically, it is the angle between the vertical axis of the wheels used for steering and the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear. It is used in the design of steering and suspension. If the top of the wheel is farther out than the bottom (that is, away from the axle), it is called positive camber; if the bottom of the wheel is farther out than the top, it is called negative camber.
