Actually, try to claim anything with most manufactures and see how they respond. My wife works at at a Tri shop and she always complains that one carbon big bike brand - starts with a C and ends with an O - always blames the customer or shop. They had a bike with a head tube issue and they blamed the shop for the issue. Every crack on the top tube is blamed on bike rack issues.

I have often found that MTB companies are much easier to deal with and have much more forgiving crash and accident policies. Crash your frame or do something stupid, get a new frame for ~$500. Road bike companies, SOL.
