An action to suspend a person's license is a criminal matter, so it will have to be pursued by the jurisdiction where the accident occurred. In some areas driving without insurance can result in an automatic suspension of your license, however this would mosyt likely have occurred already. Yet, even though your license hasn't been suspended yet, a failure to pay the amount that the insurance company says that you owe will most probably result in the suspension of your driving privileges.
