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

They should have apologised at the time, or at least checked you were okay.

YABU to still be stewing on it weeks later. It was an accident, move on.

As PP have said it needs to go into the accident log. I’d suspect someone at work would be speaking to this person about their conduct, so maybe tell them she’s never acknowledged it by apologising

Interesting how so many people equate an apology with blame. If you bump into someone and injure them it's common human decency to apologise and check in on the person if they are having treatment. It is irrelevant whether there was fault or whether it is a freak accident - if you hurt someone then it's human and decent to offer some acknowledgment. It's not about the person doing the knocking over it's about the person knocked over. People are so self absorbed to the extent they are more concerned about who is to blame than who has been hurt. Op I suggest that you also should get out of the blame mindset because it will make it easier for others to acknowledge your injury.

it’s not ok and sorry it happened. but good luck getting an apology I’ve been shouted at 5 times in work in past few years and zero apologies

@Scrrt would they all found it as hilarious if you were carrying a fresh cup of tea or another equally hot item and it scalded you? Your colleague should have apologised at the time, but I think weeks down the line it's probably a bit late and will just be empty words.

She didn’t get hit in the face by the door..? Or hit by the door at all

Your response is equally as ignorant. I said the woman should have apologised at the time. The comment I was replying to was a discussion about OP claiming for injury from work for this accident, not about wether or not the woman should have apologised, which I have already said she should have.

OP was drunk at work ? HR should be involved

Did you log this in the accident book?

You're not being unreasonable to be frustrated they are finding it funny. Sounds like a nasty accident, I'd have said "gosh sorry, are you OK, I couldn't see you" at the time. I'm not sure I'd be doing a formal apology weeks later though! It's an accident, they happen, it isn't actually her fault. I'm surprised there's not been more sympathy, but (I'm guessing here) are you potentially a bit of a drama queen? There's a lot of "x rays and appointments" but sounds like actually, a mild sprain is what's going on, and did you genuinely need an x ray to tell you that because ime you really really know if a bone is broken. I'd only take time off work for an x ray if I genuinely thought it was broken. I'd also not go to the hospital or walk in with a sprain, I'd be icing it and elevating it. There's not a lot they can do, so I'm surprised you've needed many appointments. My dd sprained her wrist and the walk in at 5pm the next day x rayed and strapped it up in about 25 mins, no further appointments required and no time off needed.
Either way, try and let it go. She can't fix it now, it's annoying but demanding a formal apology will make you look mad I think.

It's quite clear, if you look. Here it is
She flung the door open and ran in.

I presume it was reported as a H&S incident. All your trips to hospital etc should be logged. Have you had a diagnosis?
I'll be honest, I am finding it hard to imagine someone barging a person out of the way as you describe. Does she often move around like that?

What a ridiculous answer: it wouldn’t make your ankle hurt any less. What’s the point of any apology then? I’m know I wrote your car off and caused whiplash but apologising wont fix your car? I know I hurt your feelings when I called you a twat but it’s too late to apologise now. It was an accident. I mean…

OP if I had hurt you like that, even if by accident, I would be absolutely horrified and apologising A lot!

For me, it would be instinctive to say sorry. Like if I accidentally stand on somebody’s toe when getting on the tube etc. It’s very weird not to apologise to a colleague in this scenario. A sincere apology costs nothing.

This seems likely to me. But if it was me I'd have apologized.

Exactly. 99% of people would apologise for even the slightest bump into someone else. I don't know why so many people aren't acknowledging this.

But weeks later, a forced apology is of no use whatsoever, and would also be meaningless, sadly.

I get that she ought to apologise but I just don’t think demanding someone who clearly doesn’t want to apologise must apologise actually gets OP any further. She gets the unwillingly given apology of a colleague doing it because she’s told to do it - what’s the point?

It’s a figure of speech, the woman barged in in a rush, presumably she also wasn’t flying as stated in the OP. It doesn’t mean she was running around the building. OP never bothered coming back to reply to anyone anyway so it’s irrelevant now really.

It’s a figure of speech
Oh, is it?
And I never said she was unning around the building. OP just said she ran into the room.

The person I was replying to said she was running in the workplace.

This is some of the weirdest OP blaming I've seen on here.

Well, she was, assuming the staff room is in their workplace...

You just said you never said she was running in the workplace. This is pointless.

OP hurt ankle after falling out of shoe and people suggest better fitting shoes may help…. Yeah absolutely bizarre 🙄 and I didn’t say it was OPs fault, I said I didn’t think she’d be able to sue for it.

I didn’t say she was running ‘around the workplace’, no. She was however (in the OP’s telling) running into the staff room.
Do you see how both of those things can be true?
