If the OP goes with what he states in his complaint, then there is no legal action as it's all in the fault of the daughter for not being aware of the time. She had the option for a later flight but chose to take a bus, again that was a choice she made and in the end lost her flight. You can try small claims action, but I am sure the agent must have documented what had happened which will show your daughter at fault.
funny thing is when I first started flying I made almost exact same mistake with the exact same airline, I was reading, not near my gate, realizing the time I made a mad dash for the flight but the doors were already closed. Luckily United was nice about it and just rebooked my flight the following day to chicago, which means for the first time I was stuck in Las Vegas (which I didn't really care because it was Vegas).
