Legal Question in Personal Injury in Alabama

Jurisdiction issues

We would like to sue a German manufacturer in the US. How do we go about getting jurisdiction? Medical device was implanted in Germany(US citizen) and broke a year later (in the US) with severe consequences for patient. We need jurisdiction in the US because German law offeres little to no compensation.
