I'll leave your decision for "expertiserend arts" up to what was mentioned in the discussion.

"Het slachtoffer krijgt ten opzichte van de polissom dat percentage uitbetaald welk hij of zij blijvend invalide is van de GP (gehele persoon). Bij het bepalen hiervan bepaald [sic] de medisch expert eerst hoeveel % invaliditeit er is t.o.v. het ledemaat en hoeveel % dit beschadigde ledemaat dan is t.o.v. de gehele mens.
Een voorbeeld. (niet conform de AMA Guide maar slechts een voorbeeld)
Stel u mist door het ongeval een pink. Die pink maakt dan bijv. 14% uit van uw hand en die hand maakt weer 20% uit van uw gehele lichaam. U bent dan 2,8% BI GP d.w.z. 2,8 % van uw hele lichaam is blijvend invalide geworden. Nogmaals het is slechts een voorbeeld en de berekening ligt meestal complexer. De betreffende medisch expert kan u de berekening in detail toelichten."

Discussion
"...volgens de expertiserend arts" is only referring to the fact that one particular (expert) doctor/medical specialist is the one summing up this statement regarding that which has already been studied/measured/evaluated by peers in his same field of expertise.
In other words: "Uit de expertise blijkt dat er XYZ zal onherroepelijk gebeuren volgens de expertiserend arts..." would mean something along the lines of "It is the opinion of experts in the field that XYZ is bound to occur, according to one specialist doctor..." or (wildly interpreted and in mildly archaic form) "Expert study of this peculiar phenomenon has demonstrated the likelihood of XYZ occurring again as real and imminent, so sayeth John Doe, a specialist [insert title here] who has devoted his life and work to this same field of research" ...
"27% gehele mens" refers to thedisability rating of a single person
Could '27% gehele mens' be '27% of all people' despite being written in singular?
And 'uit de expertise'... does it refer to general experience or to an opinion given by a particular expert?
