Compressions are done to cause the blood to circulate when the heart is not beating. So first, check for a pulse. If there is no pulse, then yes, you do CPR even in the case of a severe chest injury, since the person will certainly die (and indeed, is already clinically dead) without this treatment. If you have a defibrillator, that might get the heart to start beating again, but you may still have to use CPR. Of course, for such a terribly injured person, you must get real medical help as soon as possible, but you can use CPR to keep the person alive until the ambulance arrives.
