There are several reasons that your fuel pump may stop working. You didn't tell us what type of car that you have, but here are some things that I would check.

1) The "Collision" sensor; many fuel pumps have a switch, so that if you get rear-ended it shuts off the pump. The reset switch for this is usually in the trunk, if your car is so equipped.

2) A bad ground or supply wire.

3) Dirt has clogged it.

4) It just plain burned out.

5) Fuel pump relay (favourite on Renault Clio among others)
