AIBU to want an apology after a colleague injured my ankle?

Who falls out of their shoes?? I think you need to remeasure and get some more suitable shoes, unless they were flip flops ?

You came out of your shoe? That’s crazy

She said she came 'flying in', which indicates she was rushing and being careless.

Was this reported as a H&S incident?

Someone running in and injuring someone so badly that the injured party ended up in hospital is not something to be laughed off lightly

Hang on. So this woman, opened the door, started running, saw you in the way and barged you out of it?

That doesn’t sound very credible in the workplace, does it.

what is actually wrong with your ankle after your multiple x-rays and appointments?

This is a very serious issue. OP has been injured, quite badly, no ambulance required. HR has been notified albeit not at the time. Doorway is badly designed. It is no laughing matter, and not minor. No one knows the outcome in a few weeks/months/years. Did OP have medical/first aid attention?

All these issues need to be addressed immediately. If I was OP and had experiences I have now, I would contact an appropriate solicitor tomorrow.

I have a friend whose chair was moved out of the way for a "joke". She has serious spine issues and has had multiple operations. The company concerned has said she should have spoken up at the time and it was now a private issue. The person who did the "joke" hasn't the means to pay for all my friend has endured.

She flung the door open and ran in. No apology, just barged me out of the way to get to the fridge

OP literally says she flung the door open, ran in and barged her out of the way - they didn’t both bump into each other.

OP is not at fault - no grown adult should be barging through any door like a maniac, especially a busy communal one at work of all places @beaglescurleduplikebagels I find it ridiculous that @Wreckinball wants to put a glass panel in said door so that overgrown badly behaved children like OP’s colleague can check before they barge. And as if they would anyway! 👀

Awful behaviour. YANBU, definitely say something OP. Sorry you have to be the one to teach this person how to behave because her parents clearly didn’t.

She is rude. If I accidentally knocked someone over I would apologise for my stupidity.
Take a personal injury claim against the company. She’ll learn from her rude reaction, so will HR.

OMG seriously??

Eh, at the end of the day, they both bumped into each other and OP unfortunately got injured in the process. It happens.

A 'sorry!' at the time would be enough I think. It was just an accident, she didn't deliberately set out to injure you. Accidents happen and they aren't always someone's 'fault', just one of those things. But she ought to have apologised as soon as it happened though - I wonder if she was one of those people who can't say sorry?

Not if the other person came flying in and OP was walking sensibly out.

We know not to fling doors open or shut because someone could be coming the other way.

Yes fair enough, I imagined her falling to the floor.

If she fell out of her shoe it must have been very obvious and so I think it was obvious that she was injured and therefore the other person should have apologised.

(As opposed to, her knocking OPs ankle gently and not realising how much it hurt, which is why she didn’t apologise).

Then OP was just as much at fault as the other person if they were both coming through the door at the same time.

Yes I’d do this. It needs to be documented that you were injured at work regardless

So are you saying that the moment of impact, she didn’t say oops sorry…I doubt that very much.

why do you need an apology after the fact.

if she wouldn’t apologise at the time she won’t weeks later and what’s the point in forcing her? She won’t mean it.

For all those asking "How can one be knocked out of shoes?" Have a bit of imagination. Example, OP might have been wearing 2 inch heel backless loafers. Easy to be knocked out of those when some thoughtless oaf barges into you at speed. It's not funny. OP was injured.

How rude. Poor you, id be annoyed too.

She flung the door open and barged you out of the way to get to the fridge, citing "I'm hungry". She sounds like a rampaging pig.

She wasn't "stood" at all.

OP "was coming out of the staff room at work and a colleague came flying in". OP was in the process of going through the doorway when someone came through in the opposite direction.

Did she not apologise at all? If not, you could contact the personnel depth, especially as you have had to take time off work. I can't see your boss thinking it's funny if you are taking time off.

YANBU

She sounds appalling.

I'd be raising this with HR, they should at least be putting out a work etiquette email, no running in the workplace, treat others as you'd wish to be treated etc.

Hope you get better soon.
