Under New York State’s No-Fault Law, individuals must purchase PIP or personal injury protection when they purchase their automobile insurance policies. Often, car accidents result in personal injuries that can permanently alter an individual’s way of life. If your accident resulted in personal injury, you might be eligible to receive compensation for your losses. When filing a no-fault insurance claim, there are several forms that need to be submitted to your insurance company following an accident, one of which is the Verification of Self-Employment Income Form (NF-7).

What Is An NF-7 Form?

In New York State, a no-fault insurance claim can be filed in the event that a motor vehicle accident results in personal injury. Individuals seeking to file a no-fault claim must first submit an NF-2 Form to their insurance company. The NF-2 Form is the initial request to open a claim to receive compensation. Once the NF-2 Form has been submitted, the insurance company will either send out an NF-6 Form or an NF-7 Form, depending on whether the individual is an employee or self-employed. An NF-7 Form is used in the event of a motor vehicle accident to determine how much an individual has lost in wages by not being able to work due to injuries sustained at the time of the accident. This form applies specifically to individuals who are self-employed and differs from the NF-6 Form, which is sent directly to an individual’s current or former employer. Because the form is for individuals who are self-employed, it requires additional paperwork to verify the monetary losses being claimed.
