9. Will I receive SMS updates after submitting a request?

Yes, you can expect SMS updates after you submit a request. The messaging system is designed to keep you informed without overwhelming you, so the updates you receive are purposeful and tied directly to your case. For example, you may get a message confirming that your request was received, another when an advocate is reviewing your information, and additional updates if more details are needed or when your crash report or next steps are ready. These messages help you stay in the loop, especially during the early stages when victims often feel unsure about what’s happening behind the scenes.

​

The updates are meant to make the process smoother, not more stressful. If something changes—like new information about your crash report, insurance guidance, or available resources—you’ll be notified so you’re never left guessing. And if you ever feel like you’re getting more messages than you want, you’re always in control. You can reply “STOP” at any time to opt out of future texts, and the system will immediately honor that choice.
