Many people in Moraga try to “wait and see” after a diagnosis. That can be understandable—until the legal process starts asking for specific documentation, timelines, and medical explanations that are hardest to reconstruct later.
California residents also face a practical challenge: the more time passes, the more difficult it can be to obtain older records (housing/assignment proof, prior treatment notes, or documentation that supports where and when exposure occurred). When you’re juggling work, caregiving, and medical appointments, organizing that information early can make a real difference.
