Narrative:
A normal landing occurred in atlanta on runway 27L with light wind from the west. The aircraft was manually landed with normal braking and cleared the runway. Subsequently, the aircraft was cleared to cross runway 27R via taxiway T and join taxiway left. The crew was directed to contact ground control on taxiway left. Ground control was contacted and a clearance was obtained to taxi to the ramp for parking. While taxiing to the ramp, the supervising flight attendant called the cockpit. She stated that a flight attendant was injured on landing. A food and beverage cart fell on her after landing. I contacted ground control and requested emergency medical technicians to meet the aircraft upon arrival at our gate. In addition, I contacted ramp control and notified them of our request for emt's. In addition, I made a public announcement to request a doctor and instructed him or her to proceed to the back of the aircraft. We taxied to parking and waited for emt's. The emt's arrived and attended to the injured flight attendant. The flight attendant stated that she could not secure the food and beverage cart and left it in position on landing. After landing, the cart rolled out of position and fell on her foot. As a result, she broke her toe. Maintenance personnel arrived and offered to perform necessary logbook actions regarding replacing used medical equipment onboard the aircraft.
