You say you had new tyres fitted just before the accident and the force of the accident pushed the swing arm forward. If the force of the impact caused that then the rear tyre needs replacing as well.
When I was rammed off my MT09 the insurance assessor put down that both tyres would need replacing as the bike had suffered a major side impact and then slid until it hit the high kerb on the roundabout, his reasoning being that there was no way of knowing what possible internal carcass damage there could be.
