Ok, you may think of me as being retarded, but I hit a median going about 25-30mph and I cleared the other side. Don't ask me why or how it happeded, just know that I did what I did. Nothing was visibly wrong and it ran like normal, no strange noises and no leaks, the only problem is when I apply the brakes it will cause the car to turn to the right. Not severly but a slight right. I figure my front rotors are bent or out of alignment or quite possibly the front left brake isnt working at all. What do you guys think?

your car is very out of alignment or has a bent chassis. You really are retarded for having to ask this.

I fell off a cliff and now my leg hurts when i walk, and there is a bone protruding...is that right?

Does the car pull to the right when you drive down the road without applying the brakes?

Remember that most roads have a "camber" and the car will often drift towards the kerb due to the camber. If your car is "pulling" as opposed to naturally drifting towards the kerb or even the middle of the road then perhaps something is out of line.

If you managed to warp the discs then you will feel a "pulsing effect" when you brake at low speeds.

Easiest thing to do would be to take it in to your nearest brake or alignment shop and get a quote and they'll tell you what the problem is
