What are my grandmother’s rights to be compensation for an injury caused when she was walking to work when 2 pit bull dogs got out of a yard and ran her down?

She fell on her side but the dogs did not attack her. Someone notified the owner the dogs. My grandmother did not call the police but she went to the doctors and got an injection because she had bloodclots where she fell. The owner told her that he would pay her medical bills and compensate her. However, after she contacted him a couple of days later, he refused to uphold his promise. He told her that the police said that she shouldn’t get any money since she dogs never attacked her and that her insurance will pay her bills. She had to pay 50 out of pocket to the emergency room.
