What to do if I drive an 18-wheeler and received a letter from the state that a judgement was entered against me 5 years ago and my license was suspended?

I called the attorney where the letter originated from and was told that I have to pay around $1000 for my license to be reinstated. What happened back then was that I was driving a truck for someone else and the trailer tire had a flat while rolling down the highway. There was a bumper on a pickup that supposedly was scratched when the trailer tire went flat. There is no proof that the scratch on the bumper of the pickup happened from the trailer tire that was on the trailer I was pulling. Without my license I can’t work.
