Stay back 300 feet

Is there any legal indemnification for companies who post

"Stay back 300 feet — Not responsible for damaged windshields"

notices on their dump trucks and semi trailers?

I was a witness in a case where a man dropped a 4"x4"x6' piece of styrofoam onto the highway off his trailer. An SUV came along the styrofoam, swerved to miss the obstacle, and rolled his SUV off the road and died. The person who dropped the syrofoam was brought up on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

It seems to me the law leans on the one causing the damage, not how close one vehicle is to another.
Have you ever pursued damage caused by a vehicle dropping materials on your vehicle? What was the outcome?
