insurance suspension

I had suspended my auto insurance temporarily when i traveled abroad only during my travel time . On return i , i met with a minor accident. The agent said i was not insured and the date to reinstate is end of month. From what i recollect i had clearly mentioned the return date which was not end of month. I am being told by the agent that i can get covered for the incident. The claims is telling they are still working on it. I hat to fill my motorist report telling my insurance status is "not known" giving the details of what exactly happened. any inputs on what could be the complications?
