If the police did not have a warrant for his arrest and/or reasonable grounds to believe that he had committed a felony and/or that he was in the process of committing a felony then (unless there are other facts that you have not divulged), this would seem to be a false arrest situation, coupled with assault, and battery, and that would render the policemen and their employer liable for the harm that has been done.

Your insurance company is of the opinion that the Plaintiff has no leg to stand on, that is why they did not settle the case. You must now turn the Summons and Complaint over to the insurance company. Do so immediately. Today. Now. This is important. Make several copies, give one to your insurance agent and make him sign for it. Find out the address of the claims dept. and send them another copy, certified mail. Call them up and confirm they have received it. Now let me explain why I've told you all this: the insurance company is obligated to defend and indemnify you. Here's what that means: the claims rep. will investigate the case. The insurance company will assign a lawyer to defend you, and they will pay the legal bills. If the case goes against you, they will pay the judgment. But, if you don't get that paperwork to them, they will disclaim coverage and leave you stranded. You must also co-operate in your defense, meaning answer phone calls from the lawyer, show up for depositions, provide whatever information they need, etc. The insurance company might decide they will settle after all, or they might take it all the way to trial. This will take a while.

They did not do a lot of other things. Who made you a doctor and able to make such decisions as to what are necessary? You did not say there was any consequence to the failure.
