Luggage claims are often the most difficult.  If you cannot provide the documents they request or file in a timely manner, they can very much indeed deny your claim.  Your best bet, contact Southwest Airlines corporate.

If that doesn't work, contact your local attorney general's office and see if that office can guide you to another agency who can help.  I am not sure if it is the FAA.
