Can someone out of the US file a civil case in the US court.?

An individual had some unfair treatment meeted out to him by an organisation in his country as a result of things that were happening to him by an organisation in the US. The organisation in his country have main offices based in the US.Can someone out of the US file a civil case in the US court.?
There are a couple of factors here. One, was the issue a direct result of instructions from the US office. Two, where did the incident occur. Three, what was the relationship between the two organizations (its different if they were the same entity versus being different entities working together).





Consult a lawyer who specializes in intl law. You will need one to file a inter-country suit anyway.Can someone out of the US file a civil case in the US court.?
Can but it's hard.


remember all those poor people in Bophal who suffered because of bad practice by Union Carbide?


They couldn't do a thing about compensation (Typical USA protecting its own, bugger the rights and wrongs ) but waited until a senior executive had the insufferable arrogance to visit India, when they promptly arrested him, and so they should have, bastards.
You are bound by the laws of the land you are in. If the actions did not constitute a violation in the country where it happened, then there is no suit to file here.
it only depends where the issue happen at.


In your situation You would have to file it in oyour country for the us people.
