Bit By Dog While Cleaning Pools

I work for a pool cleaning service in Florida. I was working my route when I came up to a particular house which I know to has 2 dogs, one a pit bull and the other was some similar sized dog. I got to the house and saw the homeowners in the garage, I walk through the gate and start cleaning the pool as usual. About 10 minutes into it I see the back glass slider open up and an older man who I assume wasn’t expecting me to be out there walks out, then out come 2 big probably 50ish pound dogs. immediately they come towards me and the pitbull gets a hold of my heel. There was probably a 10 second struggle before the homeowners in the garage heard me back there. They get the dogs off, offer me a bandage and then ask me if I’m going to sue. I said “no, shit happens.” And walk out of there. After a trip to the walk in and a call to my boss I get sent home with some anti bacterial cream. Well today I woke up and my foot is in a lot of pain. I can’t walk on it. As I mentioned my job requires walking and at this point I think I’m going to be out of work. I’m not sure how to go about this as far as compensation. I wouldn’t consider this option but I’m in a bad spot. Does my situation have any bearing if I needed to file a lawsuit? Thank you for taking the time to read.
