1. For forensic identification, you can report the case to the Public Security Bureau, which will arrange a forensic identification (it is free for the Public Security Bureau to arrange a forensic identification of the injury). Generally, a spinal fracture can constitute a serious injury, and criminal liability should be pursued according to the criminal law. (Even if it is an internal dispute within the family, as long as the injured (victim) requests that the perpetrator be held criminally responsible, the public security organs must accept it).

2. After the Public Security Bureau files a case and is identified as seriously injured by forensic medicine, the suspect should be criminally detained and transferred to the procuratorate for public prosecution, and the court will ultimately impose a sentence. (Criminal cases must be prosecuted by the procuratorate, which exercises judicial power on behalf of the state, so such proceedings are free).

3. Those who intentionally injure others and cause serious injuries shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law, be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance; if the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.

4. First, you have to report the case to the Public Security Bureau. If the Public Security Bureau does not accept the case, you can complain to the higher-level Public Security Bureau and the police inspector, or you can first complain to the forensic doctor (must be a unit with forensic qualifications) Apply for an injury appraisal (the cost of a self-funded forensic appraisal is generally around one thousand yuan), and then provide case evidence to the Public Security Bureau after the results of the injury appraisal are available.
