ATLA also says you have to travel over seas to sue a foreign company. This blatantly ignores what the bill says. Suits can be filed where the plaintiff lives, where the plaintiff was injured, or at any principal location of the company. So only if you live in Mexico and were hurt in Japan and the company has no US offices, will you have to leave the country to sue. Of course if you live in Mexico and were hurt in Japan, you shouldn't be suing in a US court anyway.
