[NJ] As a truck driver, can I be held personally liable if my employer’s insurance denies a claim and it is sent to collections?

I’m a truck driver. I had an accident on the job. A police report was made by the officer. I gave the commercial vehicle registration and insurance. Months later, I got mail saying I’m being sent to collections because my company did not want to be responsible for the accident. I called the insurance company to explain that I’m just a worker and that the insurance I gave to the police was up to date. They did not want to help because the case was sent to collections after my boss’s trucking company told them they didn’t want to be responsible. The insurance company said I can lose my license if I don’t pay $9,000.
