The Housing Authority is being sued for damages by a WA man who claims a series of falls he suffered in his public housing home left him permanently disabled.

Wayne Edward Lapthorne, 49, is taking legal action against the Housing Authority over three separate falls he had in the Morley home between 2014 and 2015.

Wayne Edward Lapthorne outside court on Monday.

Mr Lapthorne suffered a stroke in 1994 and as a result was left with hemiparesis, a condition which makes it difficult to maintain balance.

Mr Lapthorne and his lawyers, CLP Legal, allege the Housing Authority was negligent because it failed to transfer him to more appropriate housing in a reasonable time period and also failed to carry out modifications to the front steps and bathroom of the home, where his falls occurred.
