The information provided does not allow us to conclude that Tom is likely to have a spinal cord injury. While a fracture of the vertebrae L3-L5 can be serious, it does not necessarily mean that the spinal cord has been injured. Further evaluation, such as imaging studies and neurological exams, would be needed to determine if there is any damage to the spinal cord.
