Ask the company who put it up if they have 'Public Liability Insurance'.
If they have, and severe weather causes a sign to move and damage others' property, the insurance will cover it.
If not, I'd say that leaves the company that put it up liable for the damage.
The only circumstance where I'd say the homeowner will be liable is if they put the sign up themselves.0 -
I suspect that, as the sign is on your land, you would have been responsible. See the ruling in Rylands v. Fletcher.0
