Thoracic and Lumbar Compression Fracture Trial Exhibits — Instant Digital Downloads June 11 2026
Compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine are among the most common and visually compelling injuries in personal injury litigation. At Stock Trial Exhibits, attorneys can access a full library of litigation-ready compression fracture exhibits — available as instant digital downloads for use at demand packages, mediation, deposition, and trial.
Why Compression Fracture Exhibits Matter in PI Cases
Spinal compression fractures are often invisible to a jury without the right visual aid. A well-chosen exhibit bridges the gap between complex radiology reports and what a jury can actually understand. Whether your client sustained a T9, T10, T11, or T12 thoracic fracture — or an L1 lumbar compression fracture — a clear, anatomically accurate exhibit helps decision-makers grasp the severity of the injury and its long-term impact.
These exhibits are equally effective at:
- Demand packages — set the tone early with professional-grade visuals
- Mediation — reinforce injury severity before a neutral evaluator
- Deposition — anchor expert testimony to a clear anatomical reference
- Trial — present to a jury in a format they can follow and remember
Thoracic Compression Fracture Exhibits
The thoracic spine (T1–T12) is a frequent site of compression fractures in motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall cases, and high-impact trauma. Our thoracic exhibit library covers the most commonly litigated vertebral levels with side-by-side normal vs. injured comparisons, fracture detail callouts, and clean courtroom-ready design.

Stock Exhibits vs. Custom Illustrations: Which Is Right for Your Case?
Stock exhibits are the right choice when your case involves a common compression fracture diagnosis and you need exhibits fast — for an upcoming mediation, deposition, or trial date. They deliver professional, courtroom-ready visuals at a fraction of the cost of custom work, and can be reused across multiple cases involving similar injuries.
For complex multi-level fractures, surgical reconstruction cases, or cases requiring client-specific imaging overlays, our partner MedLegalVisuals provides fully custom case-specific medical illustrations built from your client's actual imaging records.

Frequently Asked Questions: Compression Fracture Trial Exhibits
What is a compression fracture and how does it appear in a trial exhibit?
A compression fracture occurs when a vertebral body collapses under axial load, reducing its height and often causing a wedge-shaped deformity. Trial exhibits illustrate this with side-by-side normal vs. injured vertebra comparisons, making the injury immediately visible to a jury or mediator.
Which vertebral levels are most commonly litigated in compression fracture cases?
T12 and L1 are the most frequently litigated levels, as the thoracolumbar junction is the most biomechanically vulnerable region of the spine. T9, T10, T11, and L2–L5 fractures are also common in high-impact trauma cases.
Can I use these exhibits at mediation and in demand packages, not just at trial?
Yes — all STE compression fracture exhibits are sized and formatted for use at every stage of litigation, including demand packages, mediation presentations, depositions, and courtroom display. Digital download files are ready to insert into any presentation or document.
What's the difference between a stock compression fracture exhibit and a custom illustration?
Stock exhibits depict the standard anatomy of a compression fracture at a specific vertebral level and are ideal for straightforward cases. Custom illustrations from our partner MedLegalVisuals are built from your client's actual imaging and surgical records — best for complex or high-value cases requiring case-specific visuals.
How do compression fracture exhibits help present spinal injury to a jury?
Jurors rarely have medical training, and radiology reports alone rarely convey the severity of a spinal fracture. A clear anatomical exhibit showing the collapsed vertebra, surrounding structures, and degree of deformity gives the jury a visual anchor for expert testimony — making the injury tangible, credible, and memorable. For complex reconstructive cases, MedLegalVisuals offers case-specific exhibit services built from your client's own imaging.
