The diaphragm would still be innervated, but the intercostal muscles would not. The person would only be able to undertake quiet breathing

Any kind of chest trauma or brain injury can affect the mechanics of breathing.
Scoliosis
If spinal injury is sever enough and is in region of C4, C5 and C6 vertebra, it can result in paralysis of biceps, wrists and hands respectively.
Yes. It does involve damage to the anterior longitudinal ligament. At times axis vertebra gets fractured in such injury.
A collapsed vertebra is a condition where a vertebra in the spine loses height or structure due to factors like injury, osteoporosis, or tumor. This can lead to compression of nerves, pain, and changes in posture. Treatment may involve pain management, physical therapy, or surgery depending on the cause and severity of the collapse.
The advantage is that each vertebra segment is fixed, with the risk of nerve injury decreased over Luque rod instrumentation.
Fracture of the D8-D12 vertebrae can cause severe back pain, difficulty moving or bending the spine, and potentially lead to spinal cord injury if there is displacement or compression of the spinal cord. This can result in neurological deficits, such as weakness or paralysis, depending on the extent of the injury. Treatment may involve pain management, bracing, and potentially surgery to stabilize the spine.

each state has its own guidelines for payment of injury. it can be reviewed online under industrial commission of your state. However to answer your question, I will tell you that I received 140,000 for a slightly less severe injury
Whether a vertebra fracture qualifies a person for disability depends on to what degree if affects their ability to work and to earn a living. If the person can still work after they recover, they may not get disability. Disability is not determined by the injury, it is determined by how much it affects you.
