Check the fuel pump relay and fuse? There is no reset switch per se, it's part of the ECM, pop open the under hood fuse/relay box and check the relays. The ECM requires a number of signals before it will provide power to the fuel pump via the fuel pump relay, namely from the crank position sensor and cam position sensor. I'm not too familiar with Nissans, but AFAIK the fuel pumps don't prime like they do on domestic cars, there has to be engine rotation first, so if those two signals aren't present no fuel pump. It could also simply be the accident disabled the wiring harness or fuel pump itself.
