Narrative:

Experienced brief moderate turbulence entering clouds followed by light turbulence until clear of clouds at 8000' MSL. After landing F/a advised crew, at the gate after engine shutdown, that 1 passenger and 2 F/a's were injured during turbulence. This was the first time we were aware of problem. Passenger fell coming back from the lav. The fasten seat belt sign had been on since beginning descent at FL370, about 15 mins. One F/a fell down in lower galley even though #1 F/a had been briefed at departure station and during descent at FL340 about possible turbulence. She assured me that everything was put away and secured. Also, I chimmed all stations approaching 10000' MSL to advise F/a's of sterile cockpit about 2 mins before encountering turbulence. When we went back to the cabin at the gate the passenger had already left. The F/a's were on their way to medical for chkup. I had to assemble a report to my dispatcher, and check my regulations for guidance. Rather than take the long walk to operations at dfw, I jumped on the van to the hyatt dfw hotel between the runways. I made my report. In my opinion, no one should have been injured. The passenger was out of his seat and fell on a F/a. One F/a was in the galley. If everyone had been where they should have been I wouldn't be writing this. The turbulence was not that bad at all.
