Does my car need more than an alignment?

My son's 1996 Dodge Stratus got hit in the front end by a very large trash can on a windy day which started making his car pull to the right. I also noticed that the front tires have worn down to the metal very quickly on the inside (probably within two to three weeks; 1,000 miles). The steering also seems a little off to me. Could there possibly be a problem with a tie rod end, cv joint, ball joint? There is nothing leaking underneath and all fluids are fine.

I was just looking for information as he's in college and I don't what to spend a fortune fixing a car that might not be worth it. Thank you.
