Legal Question in Workers Comp in New York

Yes he can.

Think about it. If his boss was correct no company in the State would pay their employees on the books or get workers comp insurance. Common sense should tell you that this is a lie.

Not only that, his employer is going to be in BIG trouble for (1) paying his employees off the books and (2) not carrying workers comp insurance. The employer is facing huge penalties and may even be personally liable. Contact a workers comp attorney immediately.

Yes. The Workers Compensation law protects those who are paid off the books. Additionally, his employer has huge exposure. Furthermore, depending on how the accident happened, you may have another lawsuit against a third party other than your employer. For example, if he was using a machine and it malfunctioned you may have a products liability claim against the company that manufactured or serviced the machine.
