I was moderately injured at work due to the direct negligence/stupidity of one of my coworkers. Basically, coworker was running and not looking, blitzed me from the side, and I lost consciousness and sprained my neck.

My company is taking care of things very well, paying for medical costs and reimbursing my travel to appointments.

But I am having some issues at work. A lot of people think I faked this to get paid from workers comp. However, I didn't get paid a dime for taking just a couple days off (other than med costs and travel reimbursement). In order to be paid, I had to be out for more than three days, and I did not need to be out that long.

This has made working with my coworkers painfully awkward. The coworker who accidentally injured me won't speak a word to me and hasn't apologized. I think she thinks I want to sue or her job is on the line. But after multiple interviews with my supervisors, I insisted that it was just an accident and I don't want to make waves.

Basically, I feel like I walk into a room and everyone was just talking shit about me, walking on eggshells around me, and it's almost painful to just show up. My job involves lots of communication and working as a team, and it's like a hush falls onto the room whenever I am there.

What do?
