Narrative:
Dfw ground. Exit spot dfw. While taxiing out, the controller called our spot when we were approximately 100 ft from taxiway K. As we approached the taxiway and were receiving taxi instructions, the controller advised us to give way to a saab. Stopping the aircraft was more firm than normal but by no means a hard stop. 1 flight attendant claims to have been thrown against the galley and suffered a back injury. No other flight attendants reported injury, nor did the injured flight attendant ever come to the cockpit to speak with me about the incident. Unable to tell me if she even had a bruise.
