It is estimated that they save over 1000 lives a year, just in the US. This is taken from accident statistics where drivers and passengers survived impacts because they were not thrown through the windscreen. But, of course we don't know all of the incidents, and this could change quickly. More people are wearing seat belts now than they used to. But now it has become a habit to wear them. So we don't know how many lives were exactly "saved".
