I hope it never happens, but it is good to know that:
1- Take the person away from the flow .Shut down the electricity flow. (Don’t forget that you are in the risk of flow, so don’t touch without any cover.)
2- Doing CPR if need. I mean Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, when the lungs or heart are stopped.
3- Move the person in good condition. Do not move, if there is no danger. Because with a flow with high ampere, certainly he would throw. So there is risk of broken. So check the body and neck for any broken symptom.
4- In the most situation shock is another problem. Make him relax. Loosen his waistline and collar. Don’t feed him. Water or any food.
5- if he needs warm him with blanket or something like that.
6- Immediately call emergency service.

First Aid for Electric Shock Victims
Don't touch them!
Unplug the appliance or turn off the power at the control panel.
If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle, dry rope or dry clothing, to separate the victim from the power source.
Do not try to move a victim touching a high voltage wire. Call for emergency help. Keep the victim lying down. Unconscious victims should be placed on their side to allow drainage of fluids. Do not move the victim if there is a suspicion of neck or spine injuries unless absolutely necessary.
If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If the victim has no pulse, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Then cover the victim with a blanket to maintain body heat, keep the victim's head low and get medical attention.
First Aid for Electrical Burn Victims
Electrical burns vary in severity depending upon: (1) how long the body is in contact with the electric current; (2) the strength of the current; (3) the type of current; and (4) the direction the current takes though the body. Often these burns are deep. There may be more than one area burned. One area may be where the current entered the body and another may be where it left. Electrical burn wounds may look minor on the outside, but could be severe on the inside.
If a person has received an electrical burn, check for shock and follow the steps outlined above. If the person is conscious and there are no signs of shock (such as being cold, clammy, pale and having a rapid pulse), begin treating the burned area. Do not apply grease or oil to the burn. Cover the burn with a dry, sterile dressing, but do not cool the burn. Keep the victim from getting chilled. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Treat any Burns
Treat for Shock
Do not:
Touch the patient directly.
Go near the area if high voltage electricity is suspected and call for immediate help / ambulance.

What to do: (For Shock)
Loosen any tight clothing.
Ensure the patient is kept warm, but no artificial heat.

If it is a minor electric shock, there shouldn't be any first aid necessary, unless there is a burn at the site of the shock, in which case you just treat the burn.
If it is a larger electric shock, it could cause damage to the heart muscle, which is what the danger of electric shocks is.

Accidently? As opposed to self-inflicted?
