In cases like these, it is important to first check on the other person to make sure they are okay. If necessary, one should offer to get help or medical attention. Depending on the severity of the situation, an apology may be necessary – something along the lines of "I am so sorry – I didn't mean to harm you", would be appropriate. Additionally, this kind of situation highlights the need for more awareness and sensitivity towards others - one could express how they would feel if this situation was reversed and take active steps to avoid such accidents in future.
