You may need to make a copy of the court file and/or any other documents in the file of the case from 2007. It is important that you realize there are certain periods of time to file a case in court from the time of the accident, otherwise your right to re-file may be barred. Bring ALL documents related to the case to a lawyer of your choosing for review prior to re-filing.

I'm curious to know why you dismissed it in the first place. What has changed?

Generally you may but you should consult an attorney to confirm the law in your state and assist you in refiling your law suit.

Depending on the date the accident occurred there are statutory time limits to file your action. I am curoius as to why a decision was made to dismiss the case in the first filing.
