Narrative:

Pushed back off gate; tail west for an east taxi. We contacted ramp control and were instructed to taxi via standard taxi east. After clearing us to taxi; we heard ramp control clear another carrier's aircraft to the gate 'reference a company.' I cleared the right side of the aircraft and the captain began taxiing on about a 45 degree intercept to our assigned taxiway. Approaching the taxi line; I again looked back to double check the area and saw the reflection of a taxi light on the concrete. I told the captain to stop. The stop was abrupt with the anti-skid cycling. The other carrier's aircraft passed less than 100 feet in front of us at a high rate of speed on the taxi line. After beginning our taxi again; I contacted ramp control and told them that we were blindsided by the other carrier's jet and had to really get on the binders to avoid an incident. The ramp controller queried us stating; 'the rj in front of us?' I confirmed her question and she said that she would talk to the other carrier's crew. We continued our taxi and departed. At cruise altitude we talked with the flight attendants and found that one had injured her shoulder when she lost her balance and hit a galley bulkhead. She said she didn't call us because she felt she was O.K. To continue the flight. In retrospect; we should have contacted the flight attendants to ensure they were O.K. Prior to continuing our taxi. Ramp control should have told the other carrier to follow us instead of referencing us.
