Displaying custom Validation error message in Visualforce pages

I have some additional fields on my VisualForce page that are not part of the Case Object.  I don't know how to add those validation errors to the system generated validation errors (AccountID, ContactID, etc) that I display on the page. 

 

I use the following:

 ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.Error,'Asset:  You must enter a value'));

HOWEVER this only appears AFTER I have resolved all the system validations errors.  I don't want them to have to click 2x if they have errors.

 

I also tried ===immediate="true"=== on the button that I have.

HOWEVER then I don't see any of the object data(AccountID, ContactID, etc).

 

Any idea what to do?

Perhaps adding addError() method in a trigger. As follows:

 

trigger CaseValidation on Case (before insert, before update) {
	for (Case kase : Trigger.new) {
		if (kase.Foo__c == 'INVALID')
			kase.addError('Some error message');
	}
}

I am not using a trigger.  It is just a Class with a Page. I think I may remove the <apex:message> from the page and put in my own section.
