It's called fraud. People who commit fraud are criminals. Depending on the amount of money you defrauded the insurance company for, it can be a misdemeanor or a felony. Felony fraud usually comes with a jail sentence and you'll have to pay the money back and pay a fine.
You also lose your integrity and reputation as someone that can be trusted. Since outcomes of criminal trials are often reported in the local paper and are a matter of public record, you can't exactly hide it. This kind of thing can also effect your ability to do things like work in civil service (such as for the post office), get the job of your dreams (good employers do background checks), and more.

If the lying was intended to defraud the insurance provider it's a problem for your lawyer to handle. And he had better be damn good. Remorse is something you should be thinking about right now. Ironically the insurance providers thrive on short changing the client. If you can catch them then you may just have something to negotiate with.

it's very serious : it's insurance fruad. in most states probably a felony. did you lie to police as well. thats a felony too. why didn't the ins. company ask for a police report? thats how they avoid fraud?? or did you file a bogus p.d. report too? if you did ...then get ready for the grand jury. if you get a certified mail letter from the d.a. or insurance company that you coned... take it deadly serious and get an attorney right away. because your in serious trouble.

It's called fraud. It's a felony and with probably get you probabtion the first time unless they want to make an example out of you, then it's prison time. The length of the prison term would depend on the amount of the fraud and state guidelines.

Insurance Fraud is illegal. You can be prosecuted for that, not just penalized by the insurance company itself. Advise against.
