About Thomas
Mr. Read has been in private practice in Cedar Rapids, Iowa since 1975. His practice has included representing insurance companies and their insureds in a variety of types of cases ranging from auto accidents, homeowner claims and dram shop claims to complex product liability, toxic tort and environment coverage cases. Mr. Read also represents both workers and employers and their carriers in workers' compensation cases, including serving as a mediator of workers' compensation cases. Mr. Read has significant experience with fire and explosion cases, both involving arson and accidental fires. A portion of his practice, however, is of a more general nature involving personal legal matters of individuals including personal injury and property damage claims.

He worked campus legal services at Iowa State University and had a casenote published in the Drake Law Review in 1975. He graduated in the upper 20% of his class in 1975.
