Charles (Chuck) Rubin, in his Rubin on Tax blog, discusses accommodation party status in Erick A. Palma, MD., et al. v. South Florida Pulmonary & Critical Care, LLC, 45 Fla. L. Weekly D2175a. The article begins as follows:

They later left the practice, and the LLC sought to collect from them their share of the liability to the bank. An interesting aspect of suretyship law avoided liability for the doctors.
