Legal Context
Cross-border non-contractual liability within the EU is governed by the Rome II Regulation. The basic rule applies the law of the country where the damage occurred — Czech law, for damage suffered in the Czech Republic — subject to exceptions depending on the circumstances (such as the parties sharing a common habitual residence).
When to Contact a Lawyer
