Binned it serious problem

So far
1yr old

1 clutch
2 subframes
1 new set off clocks
1 new sump plug

And yes its happend again, going down a dip in the road unbeknown to me the bike ground out .
1mile further down the oil had droped over the rear wheel and as i braked for the bend.Yes you guesed it one binned bike.
Just got back home curtesy of the AA and im not a happy bunny, good job for them Ducati Leeds is shut today
Apart from the bike and leathers im ok, whats the chance of a claim or at very least my bike sorting,As i say this is the second time its grounded (im only 12 stone) 1st time they replaced the plug and oil under warranty,This time its more serious and i could easly been killed
Whys the sump plug alloy and not titanium or at least have a guard, the S & R models are only affected due to the deep sump.
I want Ducati to stump up for this!!!
