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

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?

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

OMG seriously??

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.

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.

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! 👀

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.

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.

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?

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

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

You came out of your shoe? That’s crazy

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

What sort of shoes do you fall out of?

If you have an issue speak to the individual or raise it with management.

I would apologise if it was me to be fair, but maybe they think you are also in the wrong somewhat.

Where did OP say she was standing directly behind the door - she said she was coming out of the room.

Fair enough, I misread - but either way, it was an accident. They both bumped into each other and unfortunately OP took the brunt of it and got injured.

Not ideal but I’m not sure how an apology several weeks later is going to help.

You were injured at work so did you report it as such ?

I agree that it indicates that, it doesn’t mean she was running. She flung the door open… doesn’t mean she ran through it. It’s a clumsy accident

Your post is a bit full of hyperbole, "flying in", "flung the door open" then you fell out of your shoes? nobody should laugh but you sound a bit drama llama

This. Report the accident.

Say yes in the staff room with everyone there, yes it's great that
I have been in pain and had to have x-rays so all of my colleagues can have a good laugh- I wish you all to have hilarious injuries so I can be similarly entertained.

I had a "minor" issue like this turn into something serious. If it's not getting better, please get it seen to. And there will be some people with disabilities in most workplaces. Even my 7 year old knows not to run into places without checking it's clear.
Sounds like you don't work with nice people. Are they the kind that say bet you're fun at parties if you complain about their "banter", too?

Agreed. You need to log it as a work place injury and contact a solicitor about claiming for an injury that happened at work. HR will get involved and set up a meeting. It won’t be funny when it starts costing them money. My friend was barged into at work and fell over a cone in the hallway. It was when they introduced a one way system and coned off lots of space. He damaged his knee and took a long time off work to recover. HR are involved and he is claiming compensation from the works insurance as he was injured on site. You should do the same.

I don’t really understand the value in a forced and not-genuine apology. If they aren’t sorry, they aren’t sorry. Making them say sorry doesn’t mean they’re sorry.

I’d be surprised if this worked for OP, she fell out of her own shoes which must have been unsuitable.
