Getting the GA to agree to cancel the original flight and not rebook the connecting flights may be an issue. Given the odds of getting VDB'd and the usually low compensation, it would not be worth my time pursuing this. And if VDB'd and not successfully getting a refund on the ticket, the ticket cost could be comparable to or more than the compensation. And even if successfully refunded, still not worth the effort IMHO given the odds of getting a VDB.
