Daniel Bennett, Barrister is a Bristol-based legal professional specializing in claimant-side personal injury law, with a distinguished practice in workplace injury and disease, clinical negligence, and product liability. His editorial role for Munkman on Employer’s Liability—the leading textbook in the field—and his extensive experience acting for both unionized and non-unionized workers, including migrant workers, set him apart as a respected authority.
