Most states don't allow you to file a suit if they have works comp. Workers compensation is an insurance to guard the company from claims of injury. Now you can how ever fight for benefits from the workers comp company. If the company knew of unsafe practices, equipment ect and a reasonable person would deem that the issue would lead to injury but the company disregarded it then you could sue the company.

Will workers' compensation cover employees that are getting paid in cash and has no social security number?

Yes, believe it or not, it will. The law on workers compensation places the responsibility on the employer, not the employee. The fact that the employer is behaving illegally does not absolve him from his legal responsibilities. If an employee is hurt on the job, he is entitled to workers comp. Now the insurance may not pay, but the employer must. If the employer does not pay a frequent course of action is for the state to pay and fine the employer for far more than the cost of the medical treatment.
