Everything old is new again. Auto fatalities have become a fact of life. On this day, in 1899, the first recorded automobile fatality in the United States occurred in New York City, when Henry H. Bliss was struck by an electric taxi cab. He died the next day. If you need assistance in determining economic damages in an accident, contact Asterion.
