insurance company attorney
if a contractor has insurance and gets sued for not doing the job correctly, can the insurance say they will only defend a part of the suit? How would the rest be handled?

Re: insurance company attorney
The insurance company is obligated to defend its insured only to the extent of coverage. The extent of coverage needs to be determined.
If damages extend beyond the amount of insurance a suit may be needed to recover. Other methods of recovery exist.
Contact an attorney. These matters can present several complexities. Your dealings with the insurance company may lead to many possible outcomes and it is possible that you may be precluded from the recovery of excess damages or otherwise unnecessarily complicate your case.
