Sorry to hear this Marc. Unfortunately it is a dificult situation for your family and the dogs. Depending on your local council and it's bylaws you may well have some comeback on having the irresponsible owners fined or some restrictions placed on them and their dogs. You may also find the council do absolutely nothing whichndoes seem to be the normal approach for a first offence.
To take it any further and attempt to recoupe any expences falls back to taking civil action which is usually prohibitively expensive.
The fact that you have been bitten usually renders some action by your local council a fore gone conclusion. There is a lot of rules regarding dog attacks on humans and you should be able to use these to your benifit. I got bitten several years ago while walking my dog and the only avenue was civil action but now there is quite a few upgrades in the dogs at large regulations and bylaws which require some actions by council.
I hope all goes well.
