Possibly, but that generally only happens when you are entering their territory. The territory of gators in Florida is, well, everywhere. Cities, lagoons, swamps, whatever. It's pretty rare to see bears on your way to work in Calgary. It's pretty common to see gators just about anywhere in Florida.
Also, a bear attack will almost always be fatal. A small gator, even a bigger one, attacking a grown human is probably not in most cases. How many people do you think get bit or even lunged at by a gator in Florida?
