Kailen Gonzalez, 25, of Fort Lauderdale, filed the complaint in Broward Circuit Court against Katarzyna Zalewski and her husband, Marek Zalewski, both of Fort Lauderdale.
Coffey said Gonzalez wants compensation for her injuries and medical bills, and "intends to allow a jury to determine the value of this claim."
Katarzyna Zalewski did not return a phone call Friday seeking comment. But earlier this month, she disputed Gonzalez's claim, saying her pit bulls, Bobby and Shelbi, were provoked to attack on her property.
Zalewski was cited for lacking county pet licenses and vaccination records for each dog, resulting in four citations, Mendheim said.
Each citation carries a $67.50 fine, she said.
Under Broward County's dangerous-dog ordinance, the pit bulls were euthanized.
