Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 6 February 1996 increase in cover constituted a new insurance contract or only a modification of the 1992 contract.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The 1996 extension of risk to accidental death was a new insurance contract, not a mere modification of the existing one.
Extrahierte Begründung
The risk coverage was materially expanded and the insurer's own declarations, health questionnaire, and policy wording objectively showed an intent to conclude a new contract. If ambiguity remained, it had to be construed against the insurer as drafter.
