What is the effect of an arbitration agreement on a personal injury?

In determining whether a particular dispute falls within the purview of an arbitration agreement, effect must be given to the parties' intentions in light of the usual and ordinary meaning of the contractual language and the circumstances under which the agreement was made. (Weeks v. Crow, supra, 113 Cal.App.3d 350, 353, 169 Cal.Rptr. 830.)
