You have a few problems.

First is that carbon forks are ubiquitous even on steel and titanium bikes. You have to buy a pretty crap bike, or an old vintage bike, to get a non-carbon fork.

Second is that barring any previous crashes which weakened the fork-- even long ago, with your 10k miles something may have happened that you thought insignificant-- you appear to have had a very unusual freak accident. Any new fork will be statistically safe. But it might be hard for you to accept that and ride with confidence.

Do you own a MTB? They have burly forks. Start riding that to get back into shape and get your mojo back. Then, buy a new bike with a new carbon fork and ride off into the sunset.
