Probably not, because I usually play magic-users. And if not, I'm usually Neutral, unless someone's using the five-fold or nine-fold alignment system in their game, in which case, I'm usually Chaotic Good.
But if for some reason I'm playing a Lawful fighter, I'd check for traps and then... maybe? If I'm going full paladin, almost certainly. A lot depends on what Law and Chaos means so far in the campaign. A generally-Lawful fighter and a full-on-Lawful fighter are two different things. I might be more wary if I'm only generally-Lawful and so far, full-on Lawful encounters have not necessarily been simple and "pure". But if I'm a paladin... hell, those guys are all about quests. Aside from checking the table for traps, there's no reason not to.
