The driver side low/high combo bulb stopped working. I changed the
bulb, but it is still no good. I also checked the fuses and they are
good. I should note that my car was lightly rear-ended when this
problem started.  What could it be?

Thanks

Are you sure you changed the correct bulb?
Did you check for power and ground at that bulb socket?
Possibly the wiring has issues.

The bulb is good.  There is no power at the socket.  The ground it
okay.

(I copied and pasted previous posts)

Now I thought you said that both the Low and High beam was out only on one
side.
That could indicate a ground problem, but you say that the ground is good
and there is no power.  hmmm
How is the fuse and how did you test it?  Do you have power there?

Does the wiring look bad?
Does the socket that plugs into the bulb look burnt or bad?

So if the fuse is good and has power, but the bulb socket does not then the
wiring needs to be examined from the fuse to the bulb socket.  I do wonder
if the headlight switch, or low/high selector switch might have separate
circuits to the left and right headlights.
