If I have a “beware of dog” sign in my front lawn fence, is it helpful for me in court if I ever get sued?
My dog is chipped, has her licences and we have a complete fenced in yard.

Yes, the "Beware Of Dog" sign would be helpful for the defense of any personal injury action brought against you IF someone was injured on your property who can read the English language.
Such does not help you if your dog escaped from your property and injured someone. As an additional precaution, I suggest that you make sure you have adequate liability insurance for your home in the event of a dog bite by your canine.
