If the "bended" fork is more a twisted one, you can probably just twist it back to straight position. It needs were little force to twist. 
I've done this a few times my self. Last time was a few weeks ago when I was knocked over by a car, which did a fast line change manoeuvre. I was passing between two very slow moving lanes, really slow and observant, but anyway a got into this classic situation. But since I went so slow, it was the car that pushed me sideways not me going into the car, there was very little damage done, just a little on my crash bows and on my pride. The door on the car was worse off. The twist to the fork, was probably caused by me when I was trying to prevent the bike from hitting the ground to hard.

Michelin (T66???) is definitely to slippery on grass.
