Narrative:
During taxi-out [in dfw] I had to stop the aircraft quickly due to a 9 passenger van driving on the ramp. The van was outside the painted roadway on the ramp; heading south and a possible obstruction to my taxi. When I brought the aircraft to a quick stop all three flight attendants were in the aircraft galleys and received injuries from moving carts or being thrown off balance and into the galley structure. Ramp was notified on the behavior of the van and flight attendant possible injuries.
