Going Concern [Abstract]
Going Concern	2. Going Concern The Company has prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis under GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This uncertainty is based on, among other things, the possible failure of Triad to comply with the provisions of the Corrective Orders and the Company's ability to generate enough income over the term of the remaining run-off to overcome its $593.3 million deficit in assets at June 30, 2011. The positive impact on statutory surplus resulting from the second Corrective Order has resulted in Triad reporting a policyholders’ surplus in its SAP financial statements of $246.5 million at June 30, 2011, as opposed to a deficiency in policyholders’ surplus of $623.9 million on the same date had the second Corrective Order not been implemented. While the implementation of the second Corrective Order has deferred the institution of an involuntary receivership proceeding, no assurance can be given that the Department will not seek receivership of Triad in the future and there continues to be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Department may seek receivership of Triad based on its determination that Triad will ultimately become insolvent or for other reasons stated above. If the Department were to seek receivership of Triad, TGI could be compelled to institute a proceeding seeking relief from creditors under U.S. bankruptcy laws, or otherwise consider dissolution of the Company. The consolidated financial statements that are presented in this report do not include any accounting adjustments that reflect the financial risks of Triad entering receivership proceedings or otherwise not continuing as a going concern.
