US Airways is correct that BMI is the one to handle this. This is an IATA rule. The final carrier is to handle the claim. It's actually meant to be to the passenger's benefit so that BMI would not be able to tell you to take it up with US Airways in this case. There are cases where you wouldn't be able to talk to the first airline because they don't fly to that city.
So, to sum this up, BMI is fully responsible to handle your claim. They will deal with US Airways.
