Well, technically they’ll get back the amount leftover after the appropriate taxes are taken out as part of their tax return, buuuut yeah that ship has probably already sailed.

Drug tested once every two weeks?! That’s nuts!

That seems like a good plan

That’s true. I guess since it is just a bumper, the deductible might be pretty close to the whole cost huh?

I’d maybe ask how long you can keep that option open. If the other insurance company starts dragging their feet (like they need more time after this month) I’d get your own insurance involved however you can. They should be advocating for you even if their own money isn’t on the line. But I guarantee they will if it is their money.

I would go through your insurance company. If your insurance pays for the new bumper, your insurance gets payed back by the other guys insurance. I imagine they will be much more likely to put effort into getting their money back than getting money for you.

I don’t see how you would get reimbursed going forward if your car is already paid for and it wasn’t your cash.

I guess a small amount would stay in the water (nothing in chemistry is ever completed to a true 100%), but as long as the sorbent is magnetized itself (as in it doesn’t rely on attaching to the PFAS to become magnetic) it should be collected by the magnet whether it manages to bond to a PFAS or not. You might be able to leave an extremely trivial amount in the water by running it through enough magnets.

Edit: I forgot why I wrote this in the context of the comment chain. Even if the sorbent bonds to the wrong thing, it should still be pulled out by the magnets (minus whatever small amount gets left behind). Assuming the sorbent comes in magnetized and does not rely on the PFAS to become magnetized.
