You go to court.

Insurance fraud is a very serious felony. No company does it willy nilly. First of all, they are in a contractual relationship with you and will bend over backwards to deal fairly with you. If they suspect fraud, but it is a close case, they will probably NOT pursue the fraud because of the harm that can come from upsetting the contractual relationship (policyholders get big damages from insurance companies that don't deal with them fairly). So the fraud would have to be pretty clear cut.

Whoa Nellie!
They are accusing you of fraud and ready to take you to court or they are saying that they think you are lying?
If you have been untruthful, I would play it very cool if I were you. Don't lie to insurance companies about claims.
If you have been truthful, let me say that insurance companies are some of the most ruthless people on the face of this planet, and this applies equally to people who they employ to drop your claim or lower the amount (loss adjusters ... and the adjustment is never up).
They will use a wide range of tactics. Accusing you of fraud is one of them.
Another is to string you out, knowing that most people want money NOW.
Don't believe me?:

Politely refute the allegation and point out that you are not lying and that you think that their behaviour is unethical. Stringing you along AND making you really upset is another favourite tactic. Don't bite. Play the game.
No one goes to jail without proof.
Again, if you have been untruthful, drop it, from a legal and moral perspective. They have more money.
Peace.

Insurance companies will show no mercy.
They will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
They take the position that fraud is not just stealing money from the insurance companies, but it is also stealing money from the policyholders, who entrust the insurance companies to safeguard it.
SO, if you have been accused of fraud, I would get ahold of an attorney, without delay..

Are you accused OF fraud, meaning you committed fraud
or
are you being accused WITH fraud, possibly meaning someone is fraudulently accusing you of something?

You'd better stock up on Soap on a Rope. You'll need it in the prison showers.

Show them your proof of insurence, but yeah you'll go to court. Possibly lose your lisence.

you will probably go to court, a trial will commence and you will be found guilty or not guilty. If found guilty you will probably end up paying $$$

They will file charges on you, and you will have to pay and quite possibly go to jail.
