Best of luck winning this in Jamaica.

They're probably suing stateside and hoping to recover damages from the Jamaican government via American juries. Apart from massive class actions that suck in significant amounts of ambulance chaser talent, it's a tough sell, and Crump doesn't strike me as a capable litigator

The article doesn't mention anyone suing anywhere yet, but there are a dozen or so reasons they couldn't sue the Jamaican government in the U.S. (foreign sovereign immunity, lack of personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens... I could keep going). And the U.S. lawyers can't sue in Jamaica. So they were probably hired (if they were at all) just to drum up some publicity.
