Deductions & credits
No. That is a personal expense.

Deductions & credits
If the injury was caused in the course of your business and you file a business tax return, it is a deductible business expense. If it is a personal expense (you don't have a business or the injury was not caused in the course of business activities) then it is not deductible.
