...just so you know, you will die eventually whether you replace the fork or ride with your old one.
There are several issues involved in replacing a fork on a bike that has been damaged in an accident.
Rake and trail are the most common, but if you crashed badly enough to damage your fork, the
entire frame is suspect from where i am sitting, and I have no way to see it or to verify that
whatever shop you decided to finally go with is capable of doing the inspection.
A front wheel issue can also affect your steering dramatically, as can a loose headset.
Find a local source that you are certain has the expertise to analyze and diagnose your problem
while looking at your bicycle....whatever that costs is cheaper than another crash.
