Default May I get something for a long delay?

On a first leg of my transatlantic trip my LH flight to MUC was delayed for
a day because of engine problems. That caused me to miss the second leg,
which was booked with a different airline (charter). LH agreed to fly me to
the final destination, but couldn't do it on a day of my arrival in MUC. I
flew out next night and arrived in the following morning. Overall, I was
delayed for three days.
What do you think, should I call the airline and ask for some sort of
compensation? If yes, what kind of compensation would be appropriate? I
booked my flight trough United, who should I speak to: them or LH?
Thanks in advance.

depends if it was a trhough ticket, or did you book two tickets seperatley
yourself? If it was the latter then LH done a good job getting you to your
final destination, as far as im aware they didnt have to.
