What are the odds in that?

Joking aside, I hope the family get the compensation they need from this, they could be rich with money but poor in emotions.

They'll probably refuse payment on the basis the sign falling was an act of God.

I dealt with a job where a Texaco garage forecourt sign fell off the canopy and cut right into a car boot. The garage insurance refused payment... Act of God.

From what I could understand, if the company can show they took reasonable steps to ensure the sign was secure by having a maintenance schedule, then it's just one of those unlucky things.

Then again, they may cough up straight away!
