It depends on what they lied about was in writing or not. Verbal communications are hard to hold up in a court of law. You must be able to prove that they broke the contract. Read the terms carefully as verbage such as if part becomes invalid then all other parts are still held in place, etc. can force a partial contract. Also look for arbitration clauses. These force you to try arbitration before suing and have a process.
I would keep to the letter of the contract until, you are in the clear. You can always get the money, etc back through the courts, if the breach is serious enough. You don't want to be caught on the wrong end of the stick however and being seen as the one breaking the contract.
I would get a lawyer if it is serious enough. You can get your court fees, lawyer fees and even possibly punative damages if the entity you are having problems with are found to be in neglegence.
You have to think about things before you pull the trigger on an action, as there may be repercussions you haven't thought about.

How an auto insurance policy is a binding legal contract?
An insurance policy in combination with the application for insurance together make a legally binding contract. The application is the acceptance of the quote along with certain guarantees made by the applicant. As long as the truth is given on the application then the application is accepted by the company and it is a bound contract. If it is later found that you lied on the application, the contract is broken and the company does not have to abide by their part of the agreement either.
What are your rights if you signed a contract at 18 but was lied to about what the contract was for?
At 18 the law considers you an adult. You could bring a case of fraud against the other party. Misrepresentation is grounds for nullifying a contract, but you have to be able to prove it. Typically, oral representations before signing are not going to be taken into consideration, especially if there is a clause to that affect (Parole evidence clause) in the agreement.
