Bruce: *to CPS* "Private martial arts tutor. I'll have Alfred forward you his number. Perhaps you know him? Ted Grant."

If Bruce could hide the fact he broke his back the same time Batman got his broken by Bane by getting Alfred and Tim to intentionally crash one of his fleet of cars into a tree, despite no hospital records indicating he was ever admitted, he can explain away the injuries taken by the current Robin through his network of allies and contacts.

(At least until his son was killed by the Joker.... but he got better.)
