Time for me to jump in on this one. I work for 3-D Specialties and I know we went out last week when the wind started picking up and put extra sandbags on every skid for every sign that we have out right now. That means either: 1. Someone stole them(not uncommon), or 2. The construction company actually doing the road work moved them. This is not 3-D's fault. When we put anything up there is a minimum of 6 bags per sign.

btw, the wind is an "act of god", rain is an "act of god" hail is an "act of god". i would have told the dispatch to eat shit, ahe would have done the same thing if her vehicle was hit by a sign.
the correct term for you problem is a tort of negligence, meaning negligence is a tort which depends on the existence of a breach of duty of care owed by one person to another.
so the contractor in this case is liable for the sign being secured SAFELY. but obviously the negletced the fact that winds might pick up a FLAT SHEET like a screen door in the wind. in their negligence they are now liable for damages done to your vehicle.
google tort law. and defend yourself. i hope this helps
sorry to hear aboutwhat happened to your vehicle

Just a little info, the general contractor may not have been the one to do the signing on the project, even though they are responsible. That portion of the job may have been sub-contracted out. More than likely if it was they would have had their name on the back of the sign. Sometimes the contractor may just rent the signs and maintain them themselves or have the others take care of placement and maintenance.3-D Specialties
United Rentals
TSSCity of Fargo Construction Specifications state;
All devices and methods of traffic control shall conform to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.That states that they must be secured with ballast to withstand winds, must use sandbags.
Get some picts of the other signs that were not blown over, more than likely they are secured the same way and contact them directly and asked how they would like to correct the problem
TSS and United Rentals dont exhist anymore---TSS was bought by United Rentals like 6 years back and was called United rentals highway technologies, United Rentals sold the company to Northstar Saftey so now the signs would say NSI on them (i only know this cuz my dad works for Northstar Saftey--previously TSS&URHT) lol
