Suspended Driver's License

I was in an auto accident and was declared not at fault. I never reported the accident to the DMV as I have only been in one accident before and never reported that one to the dmv, thus I was unaware of this requirement. DMV sent me notice today that my DL will be suspended because I failed to report the accident and didn't provide proof of financial responsibilty. Will I be able to go to school and work and physical therapy if they do not accept my proof of insurance as proof that I was insured? Will they contact the insurance company to verify coverage or should a faxed copy of my proof of insurance be enough to get me out of this mess?
