If you hit the ditch you can easily tear the ball joint cover which allows dirt and debris in. That will mess up the ball joint over time. You can also hit something that will damage the joint at time of impact.

To rephrase the question: Can I really mess up my car because I drove in to a ditch?
Yes
You were in control of the vehicle, and you failed to cease the forward motion of the vehicle. Did the braking system of your vehicle fail to slow the forward motion, or did you?
It is basic Physics: can a suspension/steering component (i.e.. ball joint, or braking system) fail if it is demanded to perform a task that is beyond its stated tolerance?
Yes.
Have your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional
