Narrative:

Just after takeoff; row 3; seats abc came unbolted and tipped back onto row 4. The forward flight attendant called to say a row of seats had come loose and fell back on the row behind and that there were injuries and she would let us know more soon. I let departure know our situation and requested an immediate return to ZZZ and to have paramedics standing by. I assigned the copilot to fly the plane while I dealt with the flight attendants and sent a message to dispatch that we were returning with injured passenger. I called operations and let them know that we were returning and would need a gate and paramedics. ATC routed us very quickly back for a visual approach; the flight attendants quickly got everyone reseated out of the 2 rows involved and prepared for a normal landing. At ZZZ the paramedics were ready at our gate and quickly assessed the passenger's needs and removed the injured lady. I would like to say my copilot; the flight attendants; ATC; the station personnel and the paramedics all performed flawlessly! It was great to see everyone work together so well! I complimented everyone involved on such a good job they had done.
