Dropped My Bike

I have had my 2004 GZ250 for about 3 months now. Riding so far has been going really well, today i was in a parking lot doing about 10-15MPH and looking for a spot to pull in to. I glance to my right and saw an SUV doing about 30 heading right towards me, i slam on my hand brake and with the slight turn i had going to the right i dropped down. Luckily i landed mostly on my leg and arm so besides some scrapes to the tailpipe,right mirror and the hand brake being slightly bent no major damage. I got up adjusted everything back into place, cursed at the SUV and found a parking spot. Nothing really seems damaged except the scrapes and the slightly tweaked hand brake. Can doing this to a bike damage anything other than cosmetically? Should i take the bike in to get looked at? Any advise would be appreciated.
