OPINION
STEELE, Judge.
On August 23, 1983, plaintiff Charles Staats (Staats) fell from a moving motor vehicle and sustained injuries. As a result of these injuries, Staats remembers nothing about the accident. This Court, in an *664order dated August 23, 1985, appointed his mother, Shirley R. Staats, as guardian ad litem. On behalf of Staats, she filed the present action against the driver of the car, defendant Gary Alan Lawrence (Lawrence). The action seeks compensatory and punitive damages from Lawrence based on the alternative theories of negligence and wanton conduct.
