It may not have to go as far as court.
Tell the airline of the situation and related costs. Let the airline know you are entitled to all expenses since the luggage did not make it and were stranded in an airport away from the destination. The airline has to pay these expenses. Take legal action after they refuse to pay the claim. That avoids weird loop holes in the law that may make you look negligent if you take rash action too quickly. And believe me the airlines have small bands of lawyers who are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to win.
