Is a broad arbitration clause applicable in a personal injury case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. & Nev. ex rel. Welch v. My Left Foot Children's Therapy, LLC, No. 16-16070 (9th Cir. 2017):

noted, there is a difference between a clause being "broad" and "unlimited." N. Cal. Newspaper Guild Local 52 v. Sacramento Union, 856 F.2d 1381, 1383 (9th Cir. 1988). The first arbitration provision is limited to disputes that "arise out of the employment context" while the third is limited to claims "arising out of or 'related to' the employment relationship." ER 20. And for three reasons, we cannot hold that the text of the first or third provision is broad enough to encompass this case.
