I am 22(F) college student ,currently in the last semester. I landed a job offer in another state for which I had to start the internship from the starting of January. First time I talked to the HR to postpone my joining date by 2 days as my flight was booked late. Then she reached out again to me about my joining date to confirm it and I informed that due to the bad weather the flights are getting either delayed or canceled so again I'll have to delay my joining by 1 day more and she accepted my request.
Now on the same day unfortunately I met with an accident ,fracturing my arm and also having a ligament tear in my leg. I was unconscious for a long time and as soon as I got up, I informed the HR about my situation how everything turned out and even send her the X-Ray pictures and medical report the next day. I asked if my joining date could be delayed further by a week or two and she told me that I am not responsible and don't even deserve a job offer.
Was I on the wrong here?
Edit- I was informed 1 week prior to the joining date that I got the offer and the joining date was 1 January. As the new year is a busy time all the tickets were booked ..the only nearest date where a ticket was available was 3 January
(The cost of the ticket being equal to the total stipend I was going to get in a month of internship).
