Before today my car would stall at a red light or at a stop sign. today i was hit on my passenger side. It busted my tail light and dented the body by the gas tank. But the body damage is very mild. Now my car will not start. It tries to start but wont. I was told it might be my fuel filter ??

Start by checking fuel pump pressure. Make sure you are getting both spark and fuel to the engine.
