In addition to the coverages and exclusions listed, there are certain rules for special situations. Please read this section carefully.

What if other coverage is available to you? If you are entitled to receive legal representation provided by any other organization such as an insurance company or a government agency, or if you are entitled to legal services under any other legal plan, coverage will not be provided under this Plan. However, if you are eligible for legal aid or Public Defender services, you will still be eligible for benefits under this Plan, so long as you meet the eligibility requirements.

What if you are involved in a legal dispute with your dependents? You may need legal help with a problem involving your spouse, other qualified adult or your children. In some cases, both you and your dependent may need an attorney. If it would be improper for one attorney to represent both you and your dependent, only you will be entitled to representation by the plan attorney. Your dependent will not be covered under the Plan.

What if you are involved in a legal dispute with another faculty or staff member? If you or your dependents are involved in a dispute with another eligible member or that member's dependents, Hyatt Legal Plans will arrange for legal representation with independent and separate counsel for both parties.

What if the court awards attorneys' fees as part of a settlement? If you are awarded attorney's fees as part of a court settlement, the Plan must be repaid from this award to the extent that it paid the fee for your attorney.
