Yes mate get it fixed. Even if nothing were to happen with regards to accidents, not fixing it will probably just lead to extended problems and more expensive problems.

I'm on the fence about this. Here's the best advice I can give:
If you HAVE to drive it, I would say take corners like a little old lady, do NOT exceed 50 mph, and get the car fixed ASAP.

the car might be a little less stable at highway speeds, but not bad. you can still drive it as is.
thinking of getting something to get it tie together.. dunno if that a good idea..

ahm, technically, this could be considered an insurance issue... I have just had my entire rear left suspension (including the stabilizer and the subframe and all the control arms) replaced, because my car was hit by a snowplow. I have collision coverage, so my insurance basically covered everything (sans deductible).
I'd just go to a shop that knows how to deal with insurance companies well and try to get a claim going. Because this is neither a wear and tear issue, nor is it a pothole/road issue - there was indeed an event (your hitting the "curve" - I think you meant "curb") that caused the break, means that you are eligible to get a claim going.
A harder path to take here is to sue the company that manages the property where this happened for not building proper drainage for water and thus making the place unsafe for both - drivers and pedestrians. But that will be next to impossible to collect on, if you don't have an accident report.

Ok, I'll be honest, I have no clue what I am looking at in the pictures...
But I am going to have to go with consensus and say "get it fixed." Better safe than sorry I think.
